...alternatively "+" shaped "Lego" metal axles..? (I could make them Tetrix-compatible...)

Steel Shaft Integration Kit 1 wrote: There is nothing more frustrating than a robot or vehicle with saggy wheels. Large or heavy constructions put a lot of strain on the long plastic axles unless they are heavily supported. With our Steel Shaft Integration Kit, you can span those longer distances with our shafts made from high strength tool steel. You can couple these shafts to your LEGO? axles to connect stock gears and wheels.

The steel shafts range in length from 13L to 18L (104mm ,112mm, 120mm, 128mm, 136mm, and 144mm).

Requires 1/16 allen wrench (not included).

Our connection kits let you take your existing Technic®-based models and integrate them with off-the-shelf RC components such as servos and controllers.

thank you Tim! This could be the solution!
This company seems to deliver both metal axles and adaptors.
Do you see anywhere what the diameter of the metal axles is? It should be the same as the Tetrix axles so that the SSIKIT adaptors fit to it!
