Well, the commands:

C-u C-c C-c
C-x C-x
C-c *

convert the checkboxes to headings but eliminate the hierarchy.

I've also tried regex-searching for something like "^   - \[ \]" -> "*** 
TODO" but it's not foolproof since the number of leading spaces doesn't 
always have something to do with the level of the previous header.

Well, I'm gradually just fixing these things as I go through now.
