Exactly what I thought too! Put the spare on the rear axle and engage the diff lock.
The taller tire on the other rear wheel will set the pace, and the spare will be
spinning a lot faster. As long as you are on loose surface, it will at least not
ruin the vc. The CV joints stand up to more pressure than the vc, and are far
cheaper to replace.

That is how I would have done it.
