Are chainless bikes better?

Friction Facts has found a chain to be 94.4% efficient in muddy and wet conditions, and 92.8% efficient in muddy and dry conditions (250-watts). So in ridiculously muddy conditions, a shaft could technically work out to be more efficient than a chain or belt (assuming you don’t use a chaincase).

How do shaft drives work?

The driveshaft is a spinning tube that transmits power from the engine to the back of the vehicle at the differential. It does this by transmitting the spinning power from front to back. The deliverance of torque from transmission to differential then transmits torque to the wheels so the vehicle can move.
