Jet Pump Housing Blade Has Broken/Missing Piece Due to Rocks. Should it be replaced?

[GamePR0grammer]

I was planning on changing my Impeller and Wear Ring today cause I recently sucked up some rocks. I got the pump off and was about to take the cone off when I notice one of the blades on the housing has a broken piece missing. Its not big, but wanted some input on if I should get a new housing or just keep it. I am probably going to at lease still change the ring and impeller and take it for a test drive. Its for a 2022 GTI SE 170.

Here is another shot I got today of the inside.

The stators vanes are as important as the impeller blades as far as performance and cavitation go. They don't rotate so no vibration issues. It's an expensive part so its people live with the loss of performance.
