12 spokes!
Your tension balance was obviously spot-on

This weekend, on tandem with gf, took a somehow "off-road" diversion on Surrey canal path, we went over a bump... Crack! Twelve spokes! Yes! 12 spokes, instantaneously snapped from rear wheel!
Ok, it's a weak wheel, although it's a genuine tandem hub it only has 36 holes, and I built it on the cheap with recycled spokes from an old shitty mountain bike wheel, not even stainless steel ones... But still! 12 spokes!
