Forgive me if I'm overlooking the obvious, but why would wheel direction have any bearing on the drivetrain? When we refer to a wheel being on "backward," it's actually just on the wrong side of the car. The wheels are of uniform diameter, and they don't care in which direction they roll.

Mis-matched tires are a different story.
It could be a problem if the tire pressures weren't adjusted accordingly.
