But, to my knowledge, the reservoir was not replaced. I am sure it was cleaned, rinsed, etc, but I was not aware it is important to replace it as well. Should I still bother with this, or assume that it's all good if the car runs fine?

What you likely did was use your PS pump to filter out stuff in your system.
No use in changing it now.
If you had a failure which left debris in the system then the pump slurps it up out of the filter in the reservoir when you start it up again.
Interesting...my car is mostly optionless so I don't have servotronic. Or at least I don't think so.
