Can't tell from the FSM exactly what it reads, but it looks like it's pointed more to the hub that CV. Not sure why they'd say it wouldn't work.
4-Pinion Diff snapped and I'm Stranded!

"ABS 100 Series IFS Models
If your vehicle has IFS (Independent Front Suspension) and is fitted with ABS brakes the kit can be fitted without effecting the ABS system. The reason for this is because the ABS speed sensor is reading off the wheel hub."

yes. you'd be getting rid of the AWD function. You'd have 2wd, 4wd, 4lo
You should edit the ABS comment in your post. It's wrong. As you surmised from the fsm diagram the sensors are hub based. ABS will function normally.
Regarding other comments on VSC... This function uses the ABS system in conjunction with engine output control. It will not be affected by the conversion. It mitigates wheel slip by reducing engine torque under acceleration. ABS is actually the primary system VSC relies on.
Was thinking I read somewhere that it can also add power under certain conditions to help rotate the vehicle. If that's the case and it's trying to add power to the front (which are disconnected) then it could produce some undesirable results.

EXPENSIVE!
Cost for the Ring gear assembly, part no.4120180169 (41201T), is $810.75!

I will most likely take it to Slee. Even though the Slee website doesn't show aftermarket 4.10 gears, Christo told me they have them for around $300.
No reason to take it anywhere else. You'll be glad you did.
Mission Complete...
About an hour of work start to finish. Artwerks had spacers on the front, so we had to remove the wheel and spacers to access the drive flange bolts/nuts/washers.

Very cool...nice to have such a helpful group....good luck with your ARB upgrade....or check out the new TJM locker...they look interesting.
Another tech item to add...... When I packed up tools and gear to head up, I made 2 quart sized ziplock bags marked "driver" and "passenger" and threw them in my box. It was nice to have a clean, well marked bag for the dustcap, flange, nuts, c-clip and washers for each side. Its something I'll add to my carry kit. Although, when I dropped the flange into the bag, the bottom ripped out and everything fell in the dirt anyway. Don't buy cheap ziplocks, get the heavy duty ones.

Some enterprising business person should take all those parts + tools, put them in a nice durable bag, add printed out instructions with pictures on how to do this, and then sell them here for lazy people like me who would appreciate having this

I'd buy it
