Perhaps this might be the solution to the u joint problem.

^ Ditto. Unneeded protection. But by the vary nature it flexes, hence the name. This would not stop that and you would not want it to.
The only u-joint problem I am aware of would be people installing inferior brands. Is there another that calls for this?

These cups stiffen the rubber flex joint for high power applications so it does not tear out. And it looks like a safety mechanism to prevent the disc from allowing the drive shaft to become decoupled if the disc fails.
Over in BMW / Caddy CTS land, they are using an aluminum disc with individual poly bushings, not sure how well it works.
