Hey Bookers! How's it going? There's a good chance you'll be just fine on the bug front, especially if you didn't have issues during the season. A big risk is any other plants you have inside that bugs, especially aphids, could spread too. If you had pest problems outdoors or if you have other indoor plants at risk, I'd still consider Neam.
Also, because you cut the plant back, it's going too start growing at many new growth nodes at once, which is great, but all this new growth is very susceptible to aphids. They can quickly devastate a plant as it gets started growing again by sucking all the life out of the tiny leaves that make up the new growth. The plant will have invested much of its remaining energy after cut-back into that growth and if it all gets shriveled by aphids that could mean lights out. It's worth keeping an eye open for the appearance of honeydew and shed exoskeletons and to check under the leaves as well, where aphids like to congregate.
Not sure if this was the feedback you were looking for, but glad to see you continuing to grow despite the winter coming on and hope it pays off with a strong second year plant in 2019.
