I called detroit and they said that its like that for better road manners but I really don't care for road manners so I wish there was some way to take all that slop out.

You noted you had a Detroit Locker. This is how they function. They need to have that extra play to work properly. There is no way to remove the play unless you remove the locker. However, other lockers such as ARBs and OX lockers do not have the play you are referring to when locked or unlocked.

Not any worse than any other locker. The slop doesn't cause damage. The axle shafts have quite a bit of flex (twist, like a torsion bar) to them so they absorb the quick hits the slop can cause. High torque loads is what causes failure on any axle. Not the slop built into the locker.
