The silver flakes are most likely from the crownwheel or pinion; so there is likely to be some damage already. 'Running it till it busts' means that the CW & P will definitely need replacing - around £400 for a new one, finding a decent secondhand one and setting it up to run quietly in your axle case might be a bit of a mission. Or you could buy a complete Girling rear axle and hope that it's better than yours; personally I would rebuild the existing axle, not a cheap option with all those bearings to buy, but at least you know that it's a job properly done.
