Do I take it that my next step should be replacing the
pressure relief valve?

That should have been an earlier step. The do go bad, they do leak. Once
they start leaking they never stop.

I agree. I definitely would have done that before screwing around with
the thermostats. If the water was hot enough to cause the TPR to open,
it would be noticeable at the hot water faucets. 99% of the time, the
cause of water coming from the valve is a problem with the valve
itself, not an over pressure or temp condition.
