I have found no indication that my TeamViewer computers were hacked, but after reading this for a few days I finally disabled TV on them last night and I'm looking for other solutions.

After using TeamViewer for over 5 years, I started getting a handful of invites on the service from random names about a month ago (I had never gotten a single invite prior). That alone signaled to me that something may be amiss. I'm afraid that where there is smoke, there's fire.

Have you considered NoMachine NX? I found it to be more or less comparable in terms of performance and settled on it because I wasn't very keen of the centralized TV model.
Yeah, those invites have been going out for a while now, I've been receiving them for the past 2~3 months. I set up a fresh windows 7 VM with the intention of seeing what would come of the requests - but none of them ever came online after accepting.
