Opinions: x35i Front Driveshaft Play

Had the car up in the air to change out the lower control arms. While taking a break, laying down, I shimmed over to the transfer case/drive shaft.

Looking for opinions on the amount of play coming from the output shaft from the TC. I don't think it's excessive but enough to make me o_0. There was 1 very tiny spot of rust on/around the u-joint - maybe visible in the video.

2015 x35i. ~81k miles. Purchased at ~75k miles. Unknown if it's ever been changed.

What do you all think? Change it or send it? I was going to change the TC fluid, so if needed, would do it at the same time.

Apologies in advance for quality of video and my leg at the end.
