Removing the half shafts completely just isn't that difficult. Well worth the extra effort, in my view, to get the shafts onto a work bench. Plus, if your boots are worn out, the same probably goes for the output seals on the differential. And, if your joints are oil filled, there is no way you are going to get them properly refilled with the axles on the car and in a more or less horizontal orientation.
