No one would be able to jump from one car to the other and say "ah, this is the steel driveshaft version" from performance alone.

Being a two piece typically, a steel one might have a little slack in the centre u joint. A little clunk as you go from power on to power off. But as it isn't complained about in the rest of the range, no real issue.

As for why, the PPF probably gets hot. If for packaging reasons it needs to sit close to the driveshaft, I can see why they would swap to steel. CF doesn't like heat.
