I wouldn't describe the results you show in the photos as "worked really really well". The traces are uneven and full of holes and discontinuities. To me that's completely unacceptable. I'd throw them in the garbage but I guess I'm too OCD and obsessed about quality to work with hand-etched PCBs.

As long as it works or can be fixed with some bodge, I'm okay with that for prototypes. I do tend to tin the traces wherever they seem 'porous'. For broken traces, I use wrapping wire core soldered on tracks. But yeah, that isn't pretty!
