Update:

Now done a couple of hundred miles or so on the modified rims with no problems whatsoever. The nice thing is that the pressure hasn't budged in around 2 months - tubes always lose a pound or so a week (at best). No detectable difference in handling or anything else (up to 95 anyway).

No problems 5,000 miles on

I've just changed the back tyre which was squaring off at about 9,000 miles, which gave me an opportunity to look at the spoke sealing. Still as sound as a bell and over the 10 months or so since I did the job has lost no more than 1psi per month - mostly due to putting the gauge on I reckon.
