Lead-free is probably what that PCB was made for. Even though I still use leaded solder for everything, you'll be 100% fine with lead-free, it just needs a slightly higher temperature.

Even the $20 Hakko FX-901 AA-battery powered portable soldering iron would be fine for this, although they're really crappy for anything more sophisticated. I would never consider using a butane iron.

Do you know any nerds/electronics hobbyists/repair types locally who are into that kind of thing? If I were near you I would absolutely do it for you and check out the rest of the board.

Congrats on the repair! Bodged and fixed is better than waiting forever to get it fixed 'the right way' any day.
