> Do I need to fail this under 1.2.5 (Audio description is provided for all pre-recorded video content in synchronized media.)?

If the narration describes all of the non-decorative visual information - no specific audio description is required.

If audio description is required but you can't fit it in -- then it's possible you could not meet SC 1.2.5. The way the extended audio description success criteria is listed as AAA means it can't be used to meet SC 1.2.5. This is frustrating to me but I haven't found a better answer.
