That's about where you should be. I had this happen on a Sun Rim with eyelets. It rode for a few months after the process started, but in the end the rim needed to be replaced. The tension on the spoke and nipples pulled the eyelet apart. My rim did not fail catastrophically, and I suspect that yours will not, either.
