I think so, but these springs on Scirocco 16v's seem to hold up rather
well, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Prior to removing them at 117k the car had a good stance (no sag, etc.) 
Should I put these back on or spring (no pun intended) for NEW VW
springs?

Spring sag to a certain degree is allowable and desirable for better
handling, provided you have properly valved shocks, e.g. Konis. 
Anything to counter the 4X4 look is good for handling too.
