I estimate I probably drove about 3-4k miles with oil well below the dipstick low level. I drive the car pretty hard. How bad is it?

That's a low mileage example! I thought mine was pretty low at 84K km but it sounds like yours is around the same.
We cant tell you if you damaged your motor by neglecting to maintain a minimal oil level, but Im pretty sure that if you caused any problem, your engine will tell you. Or more likely, accelerated wear and living on the edge will b to the detriment of the next owner who will have no clue until the engine starts making noises or other issues. The car is your property and you can do that if you want to, but I doubt you would tell this to the next owner, would you? THAT, I have issues with.
TL;DR. Good work! Extreme neglect with anything can only lead to bad things, but don't worry.
