Personally, I'm not too hot on having 15 bolts in single shear (3+6+6) but we all have stories and documented proof of the successes and failures of both weld and bolt-on applications. whatever path you choose, do it right, use a professional if you aren't sure, and don't cut anything OFF of the stock shaft and you'll be safe AND legal.

and I agree with Christian - moving the wheel back is often desireable. (on our prod car the shaft is extended 7", the seat is back ~8", and the pedals are back ~3" from stock. makes for a great seating position.)

Go to your local dirt track and you will see 99% of the cars with weld'd on quick releases. Those guys beat the snot out of those cars and I have yet to see a shaft break. They put more stress on their car in one night that a SCCA car does in a life time.
