Mine both have at least that amount as does a 12 bolt chevy of mine(a 8.8 kissin cousin)
the 12 slop is from the spider gear cross shaft/worn spider gear spacers and I'd be shocked if that wasn't the case with the 8.8's
My first sloppy 8.8 went about 80,000 additional miles before the tranny exploded-rear end still ok
My newer 8.8 slop-O-matic also has a yoke issue-If this summer is busy I plan on gettin it rebuilt as I love the new truck
I have tightend up a 12 bolt with a new cross shaft-made a big differance-easy to do
