What is your question?
Just had left, front wheel bearing replaced and as driving away and hitting 60 mph felt a vibration on the floor near or via the accelerator pedal (was not present when had wheel bearing issue). Nothing else felt. Have already replaced the other front wheel bearing, tried different tires, replaced front differential, replaced front, left cv joint based on vibration test, and checked fluids and brakes. Running out of ideas and looking for suggestions! The tech is leaning towards replacing the right cv joint next....does that make sense? Or what else could it be? The car is otherwise in great shape so hoping to fix the problem to keep the car longer!

Holy cow, you've replaced all that for this vibration? Including the front differential? In my experience, vibration cruising usually comes from wheels or axle shafts. I'd replace both front axle shafts if you could confirm the wobble / vibration present on a lift in the air. Besides that, perhaps a powertrain component is grounding on the subframe and body of the vehicle transferring vibration? Maybe there's nothing wrong -- but a mount or subframe alignment? I can't even imagine as I can't see the vehicle, but what kind of a "vibration" is it? Rhythmic with speed?
The vibration is rhythmic with speed and is only felt in the accelerator pedal area when going around 60 mph (is not felt in steering wheel or any other place in the car). The front differential was replaced as they saw metal shavings in the fluids, so thought it might be causing it? Having the other front axel shaft replaced so then both front axel shafts will be new. Hoping that takes care of it. Unless you have other thoughts?
