Notice most of those stories resulted in a failure very shortly after the miss shift. Like has been said if you are still running then odds are well in your favour that you will be fine. The impact of a serious miss shift generally (not always) causes damage that will not show up with a compression test. It is the joints, rods and valves that take the brunt of the force.
I would just keep driving and not sweat it since if you did damage anything it would take an engine strip down and close examination to find it anyway.
