I probably already know the answer lol
The wheel isn’t too bad out of true, but it’s not for a race bike. More of an all-road mixte project.

Nah I wouldn’t. Spokes are generally pretty resilient to impacts and bends
That looks more like low tension to me than the spoke getting kinked, and it looks more like they are just bent a little. I’m also seeing some corrosion I don’t like. You can replace them if you are comfortable doing it. It’s not a big deal. I sometimes replace kinked spokes. I would be more interested in the tension of the wheel.
Check for a bent deraileur hanger. Straighten it if bent. Reset the deraileur limit screw to prevent the chain dropping off the big sprocket and jamming on the spokes again
I’m more worried about the gouges in your drive side spokes. Otherwise if your spokes are even tension and the rims straight don’t mess with it.
