you would notice a vibration while driving.
the only way to throw it out of balance is if he dented or bent it (would have to be a pretty hard hit) or added a decent amount of material to the driveshaft. unless your pipes are aluminum, doubtful, the weld probably won't stick.
really you don't have much to worry about and a driveshaft being out of balance is almost immediately noticeable upon driving.
