The guibo can certainly be replaced. I would prefer to remove it entirely and replace it with universal joint(s) as I have.
The guibo reduces shock loading for transition traction. Gravel to tarmac, wet tarmac to dry etc. Long term it reduces load on the diff and makes for a smoother drive. I notice no difference with mine gone.
I've had enough of them throw a chunk at speed resulting in massive vibration to never want one again. Plus once replaced you must zero the driveshaft runout so that it doesn't prematurely fail.
I say delete it.
