Not actually true. Unlike a ball diff, there's a shallow ramp angle which creates very high clamping loads, ensuring they don't slip.
I was investigating big one-way (sprag) clutches a while ago, and the bloke said that the only problems are caused by oils with extreme-pressure additives - basically hypoid / LSD / rear axle oils.
3-in-1 has always worked a treat on my one-ways.
