After soldering all components on the board I can say that even with
rubbing out the whole board I had a lot of problems with unintentional
shorts to lines running close to pins on the component side. It's very
hard to solder such a complex double sided board without through-plated
holes and soldermask.

Yes, I was concerned about the wear of the router bits. But since people
in the lab proposed the rub out and it's their machine, who am I to
argue with them :)
