Is SSE board toast?

This goes along with my "SSE trouble" post. Another post from 2019 titled “Tubelab SSE blown C12 and R17 should I replace board” asked if their board was too burnt to reuse after R17 fried. It showed minor scuffing to the board. George mentioned if it’s brown it should be ok, but black causes issues with higher voltages. Well, how about this PC board burn spot, picture attached. Is the board toast? It’s under R17 where only about 50V runs. Do I need a new board?
