My experience of shaft drive bikes is that the back rises under acceleration because of the torque which is the opposite of chain drive.

Yup. Had a go of a BMW 900(?) Paris/Dakar "replica", a one off built by D & A Rayner m/cs. Didn't notice when going along, but when you shut off the throttle the back end would drop by several cms.
