It is more important why it disintegrated in the first place. Did a spider gear disintegrate, a ring gear or did the pinion bearing break?
Normally welding it will let both wheel turn together when the pinion is under pressure. Since both wheels are already turning, it won't make much of a difference.

I had the differential on my tow mixer lock up and disintegrate and a friend of mine who has never used a tow mixer suggested that welding the spider gears would make the assembly hold up better. I looked up the procedure on line and it is quite doable, just don't know if it's worth the effort.
