Personally never ran across a tab torn off ...yet , though I've seen the norm seems to be the stock balljoints with the rolled steel retainer ( not the replacements with the E clip ) pulling through the mounting hole . I run the HEAVY DUTY joints on stock tabs / no reinforcement , and never have had a failure , despite BoneHeads running wheels into trees , boulders , etc. Have had to straighten , and reweld spindles from such , but the flimsy stock tabs have never taken the hit , YET ...
