I personally would be concern about the motor mount bolts shearing off like they did, there are 4 bolts two sheared off and the mount separated from the motor, that means the mount is bent or the other two bolts also shears off. It is going to be hard to pull out the broken bolts and there could be damage to the engine block.
At this point the drive shaft is the lease of your issues. You have lots of work in front of you even if the block is not damage as part of this.
I do not believe hitting a bump in the road caused this, I hit a pothole which split my front and rear rims since I hit the pothole going almost 60. I had no frame or suspension damage, I did not even knock the alignment all the much.

I agree. I think the engine mount bracket bolts were rung off by someone working on the engine in the past and just left them broken. Who would notice something like a broken mount bolt?
