Heat signatures in general are not a good way to measure penetration or fusion. Looking at the pictures, you're probably fine on the welded in plugs. There is plenty of melting back of the lip on that piece. Having owned one of those kits, I'd feel comfortable saying you're probably good on the trailing arm end if you have that much melting of the plug, because the plugs will be a very large thermal mass that will be harder to melt than the trailing arm.
With that said, nothing is certain and if you're not comfortable with your abilities on a critical suspension item, you should probably take it to an expert. It'd be a shame to gamble your life on something that should only cost $100 to complete.
I totally agree with you there.
