Machined billet rather than forged and machined?
One of my Hope rear hubs has gone the same way if it helps...

The more spokes a wheel has, the less individual spoke tension is needed for a wheel of given strength. It saves weight to build wheels with 32,28 or fewer spokes, but proper touring bikes and tandems often go to 40 spokes. It depends primarily how long you need your wheels to last and run without trouble I think. Aluminium alloy is infamous for cracking at stress raisers, followed by catastrophic failure- Google early Comet airliners with rectangular windows..

Re:
Mark the rim & unspoke the wheel to see if the rim is pretzel shaped. Might be a bit of over tension to pull a bad wheel straight. Maybe even the rim that was fitted before or before. Billet hubs are all mostly bad in the end. After 25 years are you still surprised to see a light weight part fail after a life ridden off road?
