Torque will kill a gearbox more than power, most diesels are not going to exceed the RPM limits of the bearings and gears in the gearbox.
In a gas engine you typically have less torque for the same horsepower rating, so a 300hp gas engine will be much easier on a transmission than a 300hp diesel, which will typically generate close to twice the torque.

Driveshaft
I'm wondering if somebody could clear up some confusion about the drive shaft combinations. I'm about to put a 5 speed in my 87 TD Wagon, can I use:
190E Front shaft >> 300TD end shaft Or does it have to be: 190E Front shaft >> 300E end shaft |

You can not use a 190E front drive shaft with a 300TD or 300E end shaft different end size according to a member here you can use a 190 front drive shaft with a 260E end drive shaft

Another OM603 5 speed swap You need the rear DS half from a 300E 2.6 or a 260E (they're the same thing, different names for different model years) You'll also need the smaller differential input flange from a 190e or a 260E.

If you go down this road, be very, very careful when torqueing the pinion flange nut. |

However, if replacing the flange OR the nut, this may not work, particularly if the replacement flange does not have the exact same depth/dimensions as the original. |
