There was a time when you had to risk the Jardine but you do not have to these days.  Why would you risk your vehicle 1000km from a major repair center unnecessarily just to say you have done it.  
I am one of the first to get in and have a go but in a vehicle that it doesn't matter if it gets damaged and normally with a couple of hours to somewhere it could get fixed.
Driving across the Jardine in a $100,000 vehicle 1000km from safety when there is a ferry available does not make sense.
The same as gunshot - if you want to do it - tow an old Suzuki up and do it but not in your new D4 with camper and the missus in the passenger seat and three sprogs in the back.
Different if you have no options but there normally is an option.
A time and place for everything.
