I had a very hard time getting my tires off the rim. Some minor damage occurred, mostly just the paint gone. I put some car rim repair paint on some spots. Is this still enough damage to prevent me from going tubeless on this rim?

Nope, you should be fine.
Lol I’ve literally bent a rim back in to place with a rock and ran it for another year, you’ll be fine.
My last set of aluminum rims had 4 different areas that I bent back in place with a crescent wrench and a large hammer. One was so bent over it tore the tire. Still held air until a spoke finally let loose. Those were my early, over confident days where no double was too large to try at least once lol
