I helped a colleague shoot his father's negs and large-format color transparencies a few years ago with a D800. He was paying to the nose for drum scans and in a day or so we had digitized maybe 120 of the work for "smaller" prints. Up to 30x40 prints he was quite happy of the quality, but thought for larger, the drum was the better way to go, but for 95% of the time, using a light table and digital camera would do the job quite well.
A few months later when I "rescued" a collection of M4 and M3 bodies and lenses, I got a couple of bricks of Tri-X and had a blast shooting with several of the lenses.
After processing the film, I digitized the film chips complete with sprockets and printed a bunch on my Epson 9900 on Premium Luster, most as 24x24 prints. I could probably never have equalled the quality of these prints in the darkroom, though I have nearly 40 years experience printing. Best of all, I didn't have to spend the day and several sheets of paper to craft each image.
Though it's not the same thing as silver-gelatin print, I think they are better than what I could ever print in the darkroom.
With a little work, I'll bet you can improve your images from what you remember from years ago and will be quite pleased with your results. I know I was happy with the results I got!
