Is this too much play? This has to contribute to the odd clicking I feel in the shifter as well as clunking sounds while in gear. Tomorrow I should be opening the case up.
YIKES! I suspect that with that much play in the output shaft that 5th gear, your speedo gear and who knows what all else is also in need of help. There is a tail shaft bushing for the output shaft that sits right in front of the rear seal you can see in your vid that is toast for sure.View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4pBxjM9IlM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I noticed maybe days till the mishap, the speedo was acting weird bobbing up and down at speed. Is this a relatively cheap and easy fix?YIKES!

The easiest and cheapest part of your situation are the speedo gears, they are relatively cheap and readily available including the spring clip that holds the gear that goes on the tail shaft so don't worry about your speedo, worry about how much damage to the "hard parts" in the transmission you have. Unfortunately the expense question is virtually unanswerable until you tear the thing down. At the very least you need to get the tail shaft housing off and see what got chewed up. Based on your video you have no option other than tearing it down and repairing all of the stuff that is broken or put a new / rebuilt / wrecking yard transmission in, you can't run the thing like it is-end of story, sorry.I noticed maybe days till the mishap, the speedo was acting weird bobbing up and down at speed.

Theres nothing wrong with that amount of play.
You have the yoke removed. The output shaft slips inside the yoke which rides against the tailshaft bushing. The yoke is what stabilized the entire assembly. So if you remove the driveshaft, the output shaft will move around like that.
It's the same deal with the input shaft. Some people wiggle the shaft and think somethings wrong when it moves 1/2" laterally. They fail to realize that the snout of the input shaft fits inside the pilot bearing and that creates the hard point.
With the yoke in place, and the correct pilot bearing installed, you are fine.
IN and OUT movement of the shafts is more critical. If you grab the output shaft and try to pull it out or push it in, it should barely move. I forget the spec, but under 0.003" off the top of my head.
