At least the hub is likely to sag rather than suddenly detach. I have detected cracks there at 100,000 miles but much more insidious progressing through the axle not the backplate. If it were not for the risk of inititaing such more serious failure, welding with proper preparation would not be unreasonable. it would be interessing to know what made of; generous size compared other cars.
(incidendtlly when hunting cracks on stub axles on other cars and trailers, can occur at the top due cornering loads)
