Ive cranked my tension up pretty high (adding 1/8th turn to each spoke, over a few weeks to dial it in). I'm at an advantage here though. Because in order to have decent NDS tension, to prevent 'wind-up'. You usually need to have slightly scary tension on the driveside. My spokes have the same tension on both sides.
My brake tracks are slightly pitted, other than that they are flat. My TRP 960 brake calipers, are stiff as feck, and have a solid return spring. So I dont find grabbing to be a problem (yet). Still think some yellow swiss-stops woud be nice.
