Another OP update: Still no issues a couple years and ~4-5k miles later. I'm planning to complete another round of tranny and differential fluid changes this month. Will update again with what I observe coming out...

Completed tranny and differential fluids today. I really have ~8k miles since finding that detent ball which started this thread. No more balls.
Had a decent amount of metal sludge/paste on the drain plug. I believe there was also a small amount of metal shavings in the oil based on investigation of the drain pan after I'd transfered the fluid. Though I'm surprised the magnet didn't retain that if it's really a metal shaving. Differential fluid looked meaningfully better, though that too had paste/sludge. No shavings.
