Not trying trying to Monday morning QB here -- just some food for thought.
What you had was a "nice", calm, contained engine failure where everything worked as it should have. After you got it running, I'd argue that you had a pretty high likelihood of an uncontained failure had you gone to TRT or GA thrust. At that point all bets are off - who knows what systems go down the crapper at that point.
I'm not saying I would have done anything different -- then. But after hearing your story of what was found after landing I think I'd only restart if I felt I really needed it to keep from hitting the ground.

Excellent point. I do recall briefing that we would not be going around from this approach - when we talked about the engine failure during approach bold face items, we discussed who would do each item, and that after the four were completed, we would be landing single engine. (Talked about how we would accomplish that one also.)
Thanks for the input! :beer:
