Hm, well, of course it <can> be that it's just...alloy. It's lighter and that means the resonances (which are always there, balanced or not) move up the frequency range, i.e. perhaps from where you didn't notice them on the old shaft, to where they are now... If that's the case, nothing will really 'fix' it. Any stiffer bushes anywhere just make it worse of course. That's a normal 'modified car' NVH issue...
Other things worth checking, if u haven't 3 times already:
The UJ bearings are ok/free, no sticky spots (presumably they were new anyway, but still...)
The prop/front yoke are together the same length as the old, and the engagement at front is to the same depth in the splines...
Presumably this ain't a '68 Muzzie

, so the fit of the splines shouldn't be an issue (they loosen with wear..).
