My test after an overhaul (and painting) is that the return spring returns the shaft itself when youve finished (minus cables etc). If it doesnt its too tight.
A little play is if no consequence, the brake efficiency is defined by the angle of the levers rather than how much play you have. When set up the springs on the shoe end of the cables keep them taght. The play in the pedal is taken out by a spring etc. The lost motion is generally only the cables srtetching and the bearings flexing.
