Yeah, there's a little wear there, but still plenty of meat left, from what I can tell.
If you have a shaft with a bad bearing race area, you could build a good one from that by welding the two shafts together. I know it's a bit Rube Goldberg, but has been done many times, I'd guess. I have broken an axle shaft in a 54 Chevy Station wagon before, but that was back when replacements were readily available.
