A mild vibration is felt through cabin and the steering wheel all the time, most noticeably from 40mph to 70mph,
Under light-to-moderate braking, the vibration in the steering gets significantly worse, if I brake hard-to-very-hard, it actually goes away. I just wanted to ask if anyone here reporting similar issues, has a similar experience to the vibration changing under braking.
I've replaced rotors, pads, and many other items in an attempt to cure this vibration... only thing i really have left to address is steering rack/mounting, and driveshaft/carrier bearing/balance...

I should have my driveshaft replaced within 2 weeks and I'll update. My symptoms are very similar to yours. The worst vibration is about 48-55 under load. I notice if I baby it to speed it isn't as bad. If I am into the throttle pretty hard, the vibrations are more pronounced. So I'm 99% sure it is the driveshaft. The center bearing and/or u-joints are worn.

Take a step back guys - if it's the propshaft (which is unlikely), there will be a mark left by the missing balance weight, and possibly some visible damage or corrosion to show what caused the weight to come off.
It's more likely to be the rear gearbox mount or the centre bearing (if there is one).
I had a subtle vibration on my X300 with 19" rims. I was told by the tyre shop that the tyres were handmade and some vibrate. The tyre shop took one wheel off at a time and fitted the spare. Sure enough it was a single tyre (which went in the boot).
