Verticillium Wilt? New client several lilacs with it. Looking to prune out the bad, disinfecting shears between cuts. Anything else anyone want to add, other than keeping watered well & fertilized? Hoping to save them, they are still in decent shape other than this problem.

no, you've got the right idea. Try to water at the base of the plants if sprinklers are hitting them to try and reduce some of the spread as well. You should burn the trimmings if you are able. Please don't send them off to the composting pile to return with your mulch.
