No, not everything will be moving. If you disconnect one axle shaft then
the only thing moving will be the side gears and spiders. Since the carrier
will not be turning there will be no oil thrown around and so I suspect
that's what he was refering to about additional wear, simply that they will
not get fresh oil any more.

No, they are not worked at all, the just would not get lubricated.

How are they going to spin off, or come off, or fall out?
