I'd say your risk is probably minimal, but not zero. So it comes down to how much effort you want to put forth to reduce that risk even lower. What you found probably reduces your risk to zero, but that's a lot of work to put in. What you're doing probably reduces your risk some, but not to zero, but the value of going beyond that is really a personal decision. If it were me, I wouldn't go all out, I'd stay in the "Meh" camp.
It sounds like you caught it before it had a chance to spread, maybe these sticks were infected when you got them? keep a eye on that tray & see what happens. I wouldn't think it would affect the wineador itself, I did have to disinfect a traditional humi earlier this year, the whole process took about two weeks
I used to care about mold, now I don't. I wipe it off, put it straight in, and it doesn't break out. Call me crazy, but every time I saw it I separated them and wiped down. I never saw it come back... All my humis are 65, so I don't expect it to come back either. I did have a crazy spike earlier this year and a mold breakout in one box in my Wineador. Wiped down, put back in, no problems. I've got isom that showed up with them, wiped down, put right in, no issues.

I'm glad to read this, I had an ISOM tubo that had a spot on it. I wiped it off and put it in the humi and so far so good.
