Good news is, after the restring I gave the whanger a couple good shakes, touched up the tuning and it was fine, tuning and intonation stable, trem works the same as before.
Bad news is, I am now going to be superstitious and ultra-careful every time I change strings! I want to put off learning to adjust or troubleshoot Strat trems as long as possible, if not longer. Learned helplessness.

Don't be intimidated by it. If you can use a screwdriver you can adjust a Strat trem.
