Thanks for your replies.
Wheel is 24 spokes.
My first impulse would be to tighten the loose spokes on NDS. Bring them to around 16Kgf. That's a fairly big change to me (no experience with fixing or building wheels) , and my concern is that it could throw the true out. As stated at the beginning of the thread, true is fine for now.
Investing in a true stand to keep things in check, not really my goal at this point.
I wonder how much would cost to redo the wheel from scratch? At a point a new wheel, or set, would maybe make more sense.
No need for a truing stand. Tighten all spokes by the same amount 1/8 of turn at a time. If you go too far, just loosen them again. Nothing to worry unless you lose the count of which spokes you have tightened and which don't.

Use the valve as a reference, don't rush it and everything will be OK.
