What causes play in the pedal/axle?
Destruction of load bearing material over time/use. Adding preload to the axle assembly doesn’t add the material back.
Shimano pedals are pretty much consumable - you can buy the axle assemblies but they are so spendy you might as well get new pedals.
tl;dr Get new pedals
Never had pedals develop play that couldn't be fixed by just tightening the nut at the end. What causes play in the pedal/axle?
