Had a tyre blow off the rim today, and this is how said rim now looks;

It's running true still, but the lip is quite sharp... so, new rim time? Will that rub away at a (tubeless) tyre?

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago, managed to avoid locking up rear so I have lighter damage than that in more places.

I just took a fine file to the rough bits and hoped for the best. Been ok so far.
