Just get some aggressive brake shoes

That's just going to cut more aluminium off the already worn areas and still leave the anodising in the dips in between, assuming @FredyCro has the classic wear pattern of old-school rims

After a good clean front seems to have an even wear, but rear is more worn down on the drive side (non drive side has quite a bit of anodising left). Should I sand it down or leave it as it is? Those older rims should also have thicker side walls due to not being machined, so it should be fine?

No, they were extruded with thin walls because they didn't have to allow for the subsequent machining. That's one of the reasons why rims used to be lighter.
