I have Global Entry and precheck, so the domestic leg should have pre-check. Two separate PNRs (int'l leg is an award, domestic is paid). One checked bag, but it should be priority tagged. It's going to be the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend.

How worried should I be?

Well with GE, immigration lines should be relatively quick. I once waited in line for 5 hours at immigration (non-GE). Customs lines may vary but they should move quickly. You should save another 30 minutes with TSAPRE. I think you will make the connection if your incoming flight lands on time.
