After another 8 hours, I'd drive it and see what happens. Given the method of discharge, subsequent cycles will only give small improvements if any. If the pack codes or recalibrates regularly, it's done.
Concerning stick replacement, I think you've likely done too little research again. Stick replacement is not a trivial exercise. Sure, the act of physically replacing a stick is relatively simple and time consuming. However, getting a lasting repair is extremely difficult. If you're cool with whack-a-mole and getting into the pack half a dozen times before it's semi-reliable, then you should be fine.
No matter what, you're looking at grid charging as preventative maintenance moving forward.
If your time has any value, you would be better served by pack replacement.

Thanks! I appreciate your input!
I am sure I might be missing some things, but I enjoy learning. From what I have read/watched on youtube and other sources, it looks like you deep cycle each stick and get a final read out of data per each stick. From there replace those that show weak values if need be, or try your best to get them up to par. Let them rest and see if they hold a charge. When thats complete, re-position them in the pack so that the ones that were having a bit more time/issue taking to a normal value are on the outside of the pack. I understand that its a time consuming process.
I know its not as straight forward as just swapping sticks. I have yet to get that far so for right now this is my step 1. I agree that this is just preventative maintenance but isn't the whole situation? I mean the battery isn't going to last forever.
