With that many miles I would replace every bushing, joint, and shocks. Makes no sense to only replace what is worn because the rest is likely to wear out soon with the miles you have and you end up tearing into it again...and again....and paying for a second or even third alignment.

In case you were still wondering, those are OEM Tokico black struts, so most likely the same ones from when the vehicle was manufactured. If you want a smooth ride put the same ones back in. They ride real nice when new with brand new OEM coils.

Does the little hole in the middle go anywhere or does it stop there?

That last one (gooey rear brakes) is a leaking rear axle seal. Usually the cause is a clogged, for a long time, axle breather valve that allows the axle to pressurize and force fluid into the brake drums.
At least that's what I've gathered from a few brief searches, there's better info out there (and Timmy has a video on fixing this issue, needs specialized tools)

Thank you. It didn't appear to be coming from the wheel cylinder. However, it also didn't smell like rear differential fluid, and it was thin like brake fluid.
Thoughts...Or are you sticking with your original prognosis?

Classic blown rear axle seals. The expensive part of it is- Toyota's ignorant design where you have to destroy the wheel bearings to get everything apart to GET to the seals.
I saw a 3rd gen today at a muffler shop that had a lower ball joint fail on it, unfortunately the body took a beating from the tire flying off.
I hope that you will be able to get your truck back together and running quickly.

Rear Axle Seal Replacement
Is this video misleading me somehow? I didn't see him touch a wheel bearing to replace the seal.

The trouble is that once the oil reaches the brake area, it has already passed through your bearings and contaminated/washed out the grease. Whether or not one changes the bearing, they are most likely f-Ed or on the way there.
Watch Tim’s video, read the dr coffee thread. This is not a small or cheap fix. I did mine about a year ago. Better to fix it once and do it properly I think.

That is the proper way to replace the seal but it will most likely leak again. The seals available today are of a different design than the originals.
Your bearing is also contaminated with gear oil due to the seal failure and most likely has it's grease flushed out.
Search for Timmy the Toolman axle seal replacement.
