Boiling does not kill certain spores that bacteria may have produced. That being said, I think the risk of spores is almost null, but it is something that exists.
If you’re adding vegetables and/or fruit to the boil, you are introducing more bacterial possibilities. They may breakdown and decompose in the warm water. Your pot is going to stay hot for multiple hours which is a huge risk. Again, in this scenario, I don’t think the risk is high, but it exists.
Why would you even want to reuse the water? It sounds nasty. Just buy a new sack of seasoning and start fresh.

I've been known to boil 3 sacks in my 80 qt. pot----one at a time mind you. By the time I get to sack #3 I'm going to do a total water change and start fresh.
I season the water hard for the first boil, add some seasoning for the second boil, but not as much as boil #1 and when that boil is done, the water is looking like 4 coal miners took a bath in it so it has to go.
You're talking less than $15 worth of seasoning blend and some fresh vegetables for the boil. Not going to break the bank to change it all out and start new.
