Didn't you mention you can break more spokes. So a moderate wobble becomes a severe wobble.

You can sometimes get away with removing your brake pads to get home. But break 2 or 3 spokes, and you're rubbing paint, perhaps even grinding into the frame.

You can potentially rip a spoke through the rim. So now you've gone from a $2 repair to a $100+ repair.
