If you wanted to make an analysis of the rim, it might be worth measuring the tension. But unless you are going to try solve a problem of production of rims, the tension on the other spokes is pointless for a single wheel. Even for a production problem, there are probably better ways of analyzing the rim than measuring the spoke tension on the remaining spokes.
