One prob with leaving a bearing rumble is heat the more worn out it gets the more heat is geneated. It can get to a point were the bearing welds itself together and into the housing which can wear out the drive shaft. Which makes it a lot harder to get out and more work and parts. I know with lorrys when they get really hot the grease catches fire thats why you see some lorry fires starting at their wheels but that is rare. Cant say i have heard of a car fire starting like that.
