I'm thinking the brass bearing isnt the issue, its the fan and/or shaft.

You should be fine as long as it isn't significant in any direction - check up and down also.
Small amounts of play will receive dampening from the oil. It has to be bad enough to let oil blow by the seal, which you would expect to see in the exhaust (hopefully) before the blades make contact with the housing.
