Couple of questions--Did you soil test? Soil PH and fertility are critical for alfalfa. Check with Local Extension Office on PH and Fertility advice. I suspect thin areas are result of one or both of the above or possible erroded soil resulting in poor germination. Ask extension office about the Toxin question --it is for real. My need to switch to a clover or grass if you decide to interseed. Also did you use a cover crop of oats?
I know people do put in straight stands of Alfalfa.
I have always used cover crop oats; it comes up fast in cool weather helps keep weeds down while Alfalfa comes on. If it is a straight stand I think 8 lbs is a little light. Personel experance is interseeding is tough to do.
Once weeds are established in seeding they are difficult to control. I would get some advice from extension or good seed salespreson, local CO-OP or dealer. Good Luck
