The exhaust has separated from the catalytic converter on my 2007 Toyota Tundra 4.7L V8 (sh.itjust.works)

Assuming it’s due to corrosion, am I correct that that whole section of exhaust should be replaced? I usually source my parts myself if I can. Any recommendations or things to avoid?

That's not a catalytic converter that's just a resonator (or possibly muffler) to set the exhaust tone. A cat is further up toward the engine and has O2 sensors before and after it. You can probably just clamp it for a while but the proper fix is to have a new resonator/muffler put in or have it cut out and replaced with a section of pipe.
