Could you please confirm if I’ve properly used ‘even so’ and ‘then’?

Could you please confirm if I’ve properly used ‘even so’ and ‘then’? I think they're correctly used. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.

Wendy has advised Willy: “Remember that your ex-girlfriend wants you to react to her posts on Instagram. Even so, it is unnecessary to reply to any of her comments. The most intelligent thing you can do, then, is to ignore her.”

They are correctly used though, in my opinion, it's a bit literary. I'd replace "Even so" with "But" and drop ",then," altogether.
