Question. If you put seals or baffles in the tubes to keep the lube at the gear do you need to worry about axle bearings?

If your axle bearings are sealed, I wouldn't know why.

Quite a few years ago, I read an article in a MuscleCar magazine in which they did a back to back comparison of regular and synthetic lubes in a '69 Hemi Charger with an A-833 4-speed and a Dana 60. IIRC the total difference between dinosaur oils and synthetics in engine/trans and axle was 3 tenths. Car went from 13.00 to 12.70 doing nothing but changing to synthetic lubes.
