I am nearing the end of my Cepheid build, which is my first build that only uses one row of potentiometers to mount the PCB on. Given this configuration, the PCB is balanced by one end on the pot legs, which will put some amount of stress on those soldered connections. For those of you with a lot of similar builds under your belt, how do you address this (if you do)?

I have a few builds like that and it's a non issue. If I have to bend the pots to make them fit in the holes, to make up for minute differences in angles etc, I'll reflow their solder joints. As long as you set it up so there is no initial stress, it won't be under any pressure to come loose in the future
