how did the reassembly go? Just saw the update and didn't get a chance to give a reply til now. Yep, the worn reverse gear teeth is pretty common. That's what happens when people don't completely stop before switching to reverse. The synchro prevents the grind but a lot of stress is still put on it. Like after getting out of 1st gear and you try to putting it back, (especially at higher speeds), you can do it if you keep pushing the gear in but the synchro works hard as shit to get it to slow in.
The teeth on your lower gear synchros do look pretty worn though. They should be straight on the sides and then taper up to a point. Check out the 5th gear syncho, that gear is usually less worn out if you want to compare.
If you have burrs on your input shaft, it could cause the clutch to seize on that burr while trying to disengage which would cause your issues. Do you have any photos?
