Does the stock 2-pc driveshaft actually just come apart in the middle like that? I didn’t even know, honestly, and I thought it was the u-joint in the middle (right where the carrier bearing was), that kept the two halves together.

I was lying on my back lifting the driveshaft into place when it slipped apart. Nobody was more surprised than me when it did! I had kind of a Back to the Future Doc Brown moment like when the power cord slipped apart "WHAT THE ....!!" I didn't know it would do that. I thought there was some kind of a locking feature that would prevent that from happening. Apparently not. It's just a slip-fit joint on a splined yoke.
