Should a new plated resonator tone ring be smooth to the touch or are a few“burrs” that can be felt acceptable?

Certainly not to the point that they could compromise the banjo's head.

Judging by that Burlile ring on the marketplace, they can be quite gnarly and still work just fine.

In addition to what Bobby said, I'd not want any burrs on surfaces that touch the rim since that could interfere with fit. I suppose proud-of-the-surface imperfections are acceptable where they affect nothing but looks and are rarely seen or touched.
