You could always have an episode where the transporter needs to be repaired within 40 minutes, or people die—meaning we get to watch the repairs play out... in real time.

Yes, there´s no need to worry. There are plenty of stories to be told about the transporter chief like:
A Klingon gets stuck in the transporter while being beamed.
A Ferengi gets stuck in the transporter while being beamed.
A Romulan gets stuck in the transporter while being beamed.
A Cardassian gets stuck in the transporter while being beamed.
A random alien gets stuck in the transporter while being beamed.
And of course, the most awaited episode of all: Porthos resurfaces. The only problem is that he has turned into a Bajorn Slime Devil. This story could be a three-parter. It has the potential to dethrone the Best of Both Worlds as the best cliffhanger ever.
