If you torque every spoke to the same inch pounds, you are almost certainly going to pull the wheel out of true. That may be a base line, but there has to be some give and take to keep the wheel true.
I don't claim to be a capable spoke wheel expert, but every time I mess with the spokes, I do align a screw driver the edge of the rim and clamp it to the fork/frame with a quick clamp. By spinning the wheel, I can watch the edge of the rim and see how much variance there is in the "roundness" of the rim. I also look at it the other way to see how much "wobble" there is in it. If it is more than a mm or two, I would have the wheels trued by a pro the next time they are off the bike.
In my case, there is more "side to side" on my rims than there is out of round.
