I have owned or handled probably six revolvers with loose arbors but they were all brass frame revolvers.

With a converter shooting cartridges you will avoid one activity which (IMNSHO) contributes a substantial part of the force which prompts frames to loosen up. That is the activity of loading the revolver using the loading lever to force the ball home.
