I have another related question for all ye brainy folk out there.

How many degrees of movement is required within an axle/chassis mount for an axle to articulate?

very difficult to answer that one as too many variable in the set up that your wrangler has..............but would stick with johnny joints.

Does 1 rose joint on the arm one end and the original rubber mount the other end give the axles enough flex without stresses to cause any of the damage earlier mentioned or is 22 degrees not enough but a 30 degree JJ provides enough movement?

in short- yes you can have johnny joint on one end and rubber on the other but for best results both should be johnny joints on the rear.............
but for the front only one johnny joint will suffice in fact will give better feel for the steering (less torque steer) it's a compromise i have adopted.

Rose joints have no place in a road going vehicle's suspension. However well they're made they wear out really quickly and rattle like a bastard.

dont fit rose joints on both ends because there is nothing to absorb shock loads. rose one end and a bush on the other is better but roses do wear

I don't know the answer to that, chaps  
it seemed logical to me to have the flexy joint at the axle, as that end of the arm is cranked

maybe I have them the wrong way round,

I have had mine both ways round and at the moment its quietist with the rubber at the chassis end.
