Does your driveshaft have a u-joint? I’d suspect that in your case, maybe the slight change in angle caused the bearings to sit and roll slightly different. It seems like my best option is to pull the driveshaft (I’m assuming shimming would just be some washers on the bolts?), versus dropping the thing. But isn’t it prudent to check all the components for binding?
Yes it has an almost identical driveshaft set-up. I had the driveshaft rebuilt and balanced, it had zero effect. All of the vibration ceased when the nose of the pinion was shimmed downward.

Yes a washer as a shim between the body and the center support bearing hanger would work as a test.

Pull everything to check it? You could, but I'm not sure if it is worth it.

Good luck!!!
