Do any higher-end/stronger diff gears exist for the Outcast V2 and the Fireteam? I haven't broken anything yet, but let's just say I'm planning ahead. 
Stronger diff gears?

You can upgrade to EXB diffs which are beefier.

Anything will break if you drive it wrong enough.

Way cheaper to buy them from a chop shop then to buy individual parts https://jennysrc.com/search?type=product&q=Exb+differential

If needed you can make the exb limited slip into an open configuration https://www.amainhobbies.com/arrma-differential-shim-set-fits-29mm-case-ara311094/p1279578
Exb metal diff case.

This is the open F/R differential in open configuration complete new. Can't buy this from jennysrc but can easily make one without the need to buy a complete. https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/open-f-r-diff-set-gp4-5mm-10k/ARA311066.html
I would add two sets of these to your cart.

And add 1 of these.

If you are serious and into making changes to the differentials maybe do what I did which is buy/build 3 spares. Basically I have an extra center and two F/R diffs that I can change and build while still having the 3 in the truck. Makes it really fun and easy to do changes and see the difference.

My recommendation is to find the diffs you like and then stick with them. Both standard and the EXB are good diffs. EXB are slightly better as the cross pins are thicker and possibly better quality gears (not 100% on the gears). This way you can stock diff parts easy. Aluminum case on the center diff is a great upgrade for either set. Will need to maintain and service either set probably about every 20 packs or so. Things wear and loosen up. Sometimes it’s as simple as fluid change and a couple extra shims to take the slop out.
