Printing spare parts - Can I get away with some parts in PLA?

In reading the forums, any parts near the hot end must be ABS?

It is hard for me to use ABS because I don't have a fume vent setup so I will most likely use 3DHubs to get the hot end ABS parts. Should any other parts be printed in ABS only?

I heard that PLA can shift under constant load, so any parts under tension like the one involved with the belts should be ABS, correct?
