My only other concerns are whether the improper shut-downs have
damaged the hard drive. They don't appear to have permanently
corrupted the file system (I ran xfs_check again on the root file
system, with no errors reported).

In my experience, you can lose files\directories or some files might end up blank\empty depending on what are being done during the improper shutdown. This is more probable when some writes including updates were done before shutdown.
