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

being realistic and practical, my advice is that you have 3 choices.

1- ignore the eyelet issue and replace spokes as necessary, then align and ride until something breaks.
2- build a new wheel with new rim and spokes on the original hub.
3- buy a new wheel with a compatible hub, ie. same width and No. of speeds.

Re-eyeletting rims isn't practical, and the cost in $$$ time and effort is more than a new rim, plus doing so would call for rebuilding the wheel, so you might as well start fresh.
