Because on my offroad vehicle, the half shafts are the "fuse" of the drivetrain. They are designed to be the first thing to break before differentials, driveshafts or transfer cases explode. Replacing a CV half shaft on the trail is a better solution than sitting in the woods waiting on a tow-out. Note that if all of the halfshafts are the same length in the Defender, you only need one.
Not yet! Winter Romp the Defender gets it's offroad baptism! (as long as I don't need tire chains) Can't wait!
The toolkit item contents are pretty universal. Perhaps some items are more vehicle specific than others - but the overall idea is to account for the highest risk of failure/immobilization. Not quite sure what it would be in the Defender as mechanically, it seems to be pretty robust (which is why I'm pretty comfortable not having anything but a tire iron and a spare tire when I'm not offroad) - perhaps instead of a set of halfshafts you could bring a GAP tool or a spare windshield instead?

A fully charged NoCo GBX55 or the previous model series use their GB40. 10mm coated wrench may ofren be your friend! Battery disconnects cure several problems.
