There is no binding anywhere.

Is this likely a ESC tuning issue, or a gearing issue, or something else? I feel like the diff is very smooth, I'm hesitant to tighten it... Ideas?
I dont get that esc business. Something has to give. The slipper exists to help with traction and save the drive line. Trust me, you do no want to here diff slipping sounds. Your diff will get trashed quickly. The slipper should always slip and prevent the diff from slipping. I have no idea what the esc will do to help aside from maybe punch control. But think of the scenario when you land a jump with the throttle going. once the rear end hits, you want the slipper to take the beating, not the diff. But you also dont want to slip for 20 feet or you will never make a jump to save your life. There was a good video linked a few pages back about setting the b4 diff. WC says 1-2 inches on the lift, the video says 3, either way , you dont want more than that.
