Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Other than whatever caused the change, stripped nipple or something else, the wheel seems to have been OK before. If the issue was isolated or a fluke, then finding and fixing the issue should restore it to the prior OK condition. OTOH, it could be that the wheel is inadequate to the demands.

I never condemn a wheel over a single incident, so I'd give this one a second chance, but if it doesn't hold up, then get a 36h wheel going froward.

BTW- congratulations of the good timing of your escape from the tundra.
