Again, I think I'll worry about it if I start to get a leak, the engine runs rough, or if I find more junk at my next oil change.

Ok, if you used black RTV to seal the pan and the remains are still black then the white and green stuff came from elsewhere. If it were my car I would shorten the oil change interval and as you said: keep my eyes/ears open.
