You have a rugged set of wheels.
For insurance you could put new spokes on the drive side of the rear wheel, the ones most likely to break, and
cannot be replaced without removing the cassette.
Bring extra spokes too. The front uses the same length on both sides, the rear uses different lengths on each side. Anything but the drive side can easily be replaced on the road.
Bring one of those spoke keys that fit many different sized nipples.
Also bring a couple of kevlar emergency spokes.
