Vibrations started to ramp up before the Roll got out of control. Pitch was also affected but not as much as roll.
Clipping and vibrations actually started earlier in the flight, so something was coming loose (battery?) or a prop or motor was already starting to fail before you saw the effects.

After you do repairs, use MissionPlanner motor test to check all the motors, probably for some extended time. Motors 3 and 2 are most suspect.

Definitely upgrade to latest stable firmware release.
Best to set
ARMING_CHECK,1
ATC_THR_MIX_MAN,0.5
INS_ACCEL_FILTER,10 ← safe to use this value, it should be the new default value

Let me know if you want help with some more tuning, it’s easy to set up the harmonic notch filter and there is a combination of some parameters that dont make sense to me (INS_GYRO_FILTER and MOT_THST_EXPO for example)
