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

IMO, the rim probably isn't bent, though it might be warped.

The distinction is the sharpness or whether the deflection is confined to a small area (bent) or spread out over large sections of the rim (warped).

Bent rims are difficult to correct, especially with modern, stiff rims, but warpage corrects relatively easily and will not need large tension imbalance to do so.

If the rim was relatively OK before the OP warped it, odds are it's still OK.
