The aluminum is just for show we all know the cardboard does the structural work on these trucks that's why we can't keep driveshafts in them.
I had a local shop build a high speed balanced steel drivershaft with OE ujoints for my truck It was 450 and I've had it to well past 100 and shes smooth as glass.

Edit: just googled it lol : Figure 6-6).
To reduce the effects of vibrations and the resulting noises, manufacturers have used vari- ous methods to construct a drive shaft. An example of this is a drive shaft with cardboard liners inserted into the tube, which serve to decrease the shaft’s vibration by damping the vibrations.
Drive shaft performance has also been improved by placing biscuits between the drive shaft and the cardboard liner. These biscuits are simply rubber inserts that reduce noise transfer within the drive shaft.

Edit: You can see in the first picture, there are tags of some sort at the end, 2 of them. Maybe there's some identifying information on them? I see them at both ends. I also see something similar on the 5" Driveshaft Specialties shown in post #6. Fairly certain it's not aluminum but now I'm curious if it is aftermarket

better to get everything checked vs finding out the hard way.
