Thank you.  I've done largely as you've suggested already and waiting for the weekend to turn the host off and on again to make sure all is well.

I followed this KB:

https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1002511

which appears to be the manual equivalent of what the script in your KB does, which would've been nice to have come across first.

One thing I've also done since i have a running VM was to get the UUID from the host and replace the reproduced vmx file with the original uuid.  I don't know if a new windows guid would have hurt anything, but I feel it's a good thing to preserve if I have the opportunity.  I followed these instructions for that:
