it isn't quite normal for there to be free play in the freehub bearings which disappears when the wheel is installed. It may indicate that bolt #9 herehttps://si.shimano.com/pdfs/ev/EV-FH-M6000-4196.pdfisn't tight.
If there is play in the main hub bearings when the wheel is out, which disappears when the wheel is installed and the QR is tightened, this means the hub is perfectly adjusted.If there is play in the freehub body bearings this usually persists when the wheel is installed. It can be adjusted out by re-shimming the freehub body.

If I am going to that effort is it worth replacing bearings at the same time?

How does one re-shim the freehub body? Looks like the freehub is Y3SW98060, which I think is the same as the freehub body on my spare wheels.Would swapping the freehub from one wheel to another likely fix it? Looks like new freehubs are only €11. J
I have a free hub on my wheel, it's a shimano MTB 135mm disk hub (Deore XT FH-M6000),
