I guess it would be a better revamp, if I where to replace the spokes and then be able to clean the entire rim and hub even better. However, I never build a tire, and that looks quite complicated.

Meanwhile, while I'm at it, should I replace the (1 cm wide) rim tape? Any suggestions?

+1, that looks great! Velox makes a 10mm tape that would be perfect.
