The advice I generally see on here, coming from experienced shooters, collectors, and gunsmiths, is to have the barrel wall thickness of an old gun checked. Mirror bores could mean aggressively honed to remove pitting or frosting, but nevertheless dangerous.
Additionally, if an inner voice were speaking to me as yours was when you thought, “dang, they look pretty thin and dainty to me.", I would heed it and get a qualified person to measure the barrel walls for thickness, and as said above, search opinions on numerical safety limits on this Forum, and solicit them from qualified individuals elsewhere.
I would not be confident about the barrels merely because they had not bulged or blown up during one shooting session.
