And if one rounds too much, the teeth won't get enough grip on each other. What teams out there did round their gears and what was your experience doing this?

As for the spares.. We welded the gears onto the shafts.. Didn't really think of that, either
I got this information from the White Paper on 116's tranny. The white paper can be found here, it gives the amounts to round and everything. You'd really have to ask them about how it worked.
