So after a visual inspection, retruing the wheel, what else do you/can you do after replacing spokes? I hate this paranoid, ticking time bomb feeling after having a broken spoke.

Did you stress-relieve the spokes afterward? One of the reasons for giving them all a really good squeeze is to test whether any others were close to snapping.
