I'm not sure what manufacturers use for their mass produced aluminum drivelines (though they may use it), but aftermarket driveline manufacturers such as Denny's use 6061-T6 tubing to create their drivelines. Even their yokes are made from forged 6061-T6. So, to answer your question: yes, it is a good choice when building drivelines.
