At this point I can't find any evidence that there is any debris in the converter after flushing and draining it over the course of this week. The fluid looked new the first time I drained it and has not revealed any additional debris since I started pouring fluid in it to flush it out. I also have not torn into my transmission to see what came apart or failed, so I don't know what the material is from or if it could have made it's way into the converter.

It’s always difficult to determine what’s inside a converter after something fails.If there is absolutely no sign of metal or clutch material you may be ok.The correct thing to do is cut it apart and check.The fluid path in a 350 starts by going through the filter, into the pump and then to the converter.
Then to the valve body and the rest of the transmission.Maybe your trans guy can help advise if it’s worth taking a chance.
