Pulled it a few weeks later to prep it for repair, and installed another salvage transmission. Immediately was WAY worse. I said "Fuck it. Let's see how it holds up." That was like five years ago. No change at all. One of these days I'll get around to swapping them again and inspecting the beater transmission.
Unless it's really awful, I wouldn't sweat it. Just be careful about abusing it. They're pretty fragile.

It's definitely not awful. I can hear it when it's on throttle (especially a partial throttle), but once it's doing a hard pull, the engine noise and other interior rattle overwhelm it. Since I changed the fluid last year, I notice pretty much zero difference in how it whines, so I think it will hopefully hold up as is. When I looked up the transmission whine on the forum, some say it's normal for the car, and I was wondering if they had a different fluid other than the OEM or Motul. I'll be careful not to abuse it for sure.
Thanks for sharing.
ps. my friend described it was like a super charger ha
