My question is this... Could it be that they just *appear* healthy and that contams could rear their ugly heads after I spawn to bulk substrate?
Well being as you inoculated your jars via spore syringe, there's really no way to know for sure. That's why most cultivators on here would advise to take the preliminary step and get a clean mycelium through agar work in a SAB. It really does put your mind at ease, it's one less thing to worry about as you proceed with your grow, trust me, it's worth the extra effort.
What do your jars look like right now? Just because they're a bit bacterial, doesn't mean you can't spawn them to cvg and get a decent first flush. It may not be the best output, but you'll more than likely get something

I've never grown white millet spawn, so I don't know how susceptible to bacteria it is.
Those last pics don't look too bad, though the bottom looks wetter than the top. Any update pics?

Yeah I totally get what you're saying and I'll be doing that for any future grows for sure. I'll post some current pics of the jars when I get home from work

Even if the spawn is white there can be some bacteria hidden. You are going to want to smell your jars before you spawn them to your sub. They should smell like fresh mushrooms and with maybe a hint of mustiness. However the fresh mushroom smell should be the dominant scent. If it smells rotten or otherwise toss it. If you inoculated with a syringe there is a risk. I recently inoculated with a syringe and was able to colonize my grain, then sub, and then get 3 good flushes between two tubs. While I was diligent with my sterile technique, I believe I was a benefactor of getting good syringes from a reliable vendor + GT are a pretty hardy strain. You'll find out soon enough

Here's a couple photos of some of the jars... They are all pretty much the same.
Just shook them up to distribute the mycelium and some of that moisture on the bottom.
