Is this blight?

My customer had this lil rubber tree in their waiting room and it was looking so sad and dry, so I gave it some water from my bottle. My customer saw me doing this and asked if I wanted to take it home because nobody in the office was willing to take responsibility for caring for it lol. Now that I’m getting a closer look at it, I’m noticing these spots on a few of the leaves.

I have it quarantined outside in the shade for now. Gave it a repot with fresh soil, snipped all of the leaves with any spots (plus one stem that looked like it had some funk on it) and I sprayed it down with some 3% hydrogen peroxide and neem oil/filtered water.

Am I wasting my energy lol, or is it possible that I caught it in time? Is there anything else I can/should do?
