Should be no play, are you confusing play with soft rubberbushes which again is a good reason to change

Check vcu whilst your down there.

I would hold your horses, and maybe look towards the gearbox etc.

In my experience the VCU bearings grind and grumble like hell when completely shot, and tick or squeal if on the way out.

Under power or not, the prop shaft still revolves If you think about it..Shouldn't/doesn't make any difference if they are shot.

You will know when they are toasted completely, you really will. It is one unholy permanent racket.

As above, check the propshaft couplings each end and condition of the unions. Rear diff mounts could also be the problem.
