Potholes don't bend spokes (well not until you have destroyed the rim). Now, that is an odd bend. I'm guessing it didn't happen while the bike was being ridden. It's bent back at the top of the wheel so if you were riding, the stick or whatever that bent it was 2' off the ground when it happened. I'm guessing this happened in the garage.

Do your brake shoes clear the tire when you squeeze hard? Are you going to remember to lower the pads as they wear? Centerpull, sidepull and dual pivot brake pad contact points move up as the calipers are being squeezed and pads wear. (V-brake and cantilevers move down. If those were cantilevers, I'd say your pad position was right on.)

Biggest worry I would have re: the spoke doing its job is the nipple threads stripping. If the threads hold up, the spoke should go on just looking funky a good long while. This is a front wheel. Even if it does break, it should not be a ride ended. (I'd stash a spoke wrench in the tool bag just to keep Murphy (of Murphy;s Law) happy,
