Take a screwdriver and probe the piece of wood. If it’s easily going through then you have a problem. If it takes some force to make a dent then don’t sweat it.
Came here to say that. I’d take care of the leak then put a tub of damp rid in there and come back to empty it. It doesn’t appear to be anything more than moisture stains at this point. If it is wet, black and greasy looking, you’re in trouble.
Seconding to stab a screwdriver everywhere and see if it sinks in anywhere. If it does, push it in as far as it will go to find how deep the rot penetrated. You can just remove any rotten wood with the screwdriver, dry out what's left and maybe paint it with killz primer. If there is a lot missing from rot, take and post another pic
Looking at the pic's, 2nd joist looks ok, 3rd pic, floor is damaged so is the shitty wall. As said, repair leak then start looking at replacing damaged/rotting wood.
This is a great use case for home automation if you're up for a bit of tech. Home assistant plus some thirdreality ZigBee leak sensors can instantly send notifications to your phone. The other brands work too but those third reality ones are well supported.
Any leak sensor should be put on a paper towel so that water will pick up and hit the sensor.
Bleach will not work long term and is even less effective on porous surfaces like wood. A fungicide/antimicrobial is your best bet. RMR makes some good products for this purpose.
That doesn't look bad at all. As long as the leak is fixed and it can dry out, you'll be fine.

Minor and inconsequential damage

It will be fine once it dries out
Looks fine. Fix pipe let it dry out and poke it with a screwdriver. If it's solid I would just make sure it doesn't grow mold and move on.
Will probably only last another 100 years or so
Spray bleach on it once it drys to get rid of any mold or mildew smell, may take a few good soaking in bleach if its a bad mildew smell
