Somewhere I took a screenshot of the Ford document that Buyer2021 posted:

If I recall correctly; it also specifies replacement of the brake caliper bolts. Which means Ford also knows that after the axle bolts shear, the only thing holding the wheel on axially is the brakes.
Hopefully the aftermarket steps in with a full-float hub conversion. The current HD9.75” Max-Tow axle housing is already 3/4 of the way there.
Unfortunately, Ford won’t be doing shit until someone’s wheel actually falls off.
