I'm optimistic. But they have yet to show the ship can suffer a re-entry without losing part of the front flap. This is a deal-breaker, unless they expect to replace those flaps with every flight.
That's the furthest thing from a "deal-breaker". Flap damage is an inconvenience at best.
Keep in mind: they're yet to reuse a ship, and landing Starship onto the launch tower is even more precarious than their first stage landing trick. There's still a lot of room for actual fuckups to happen there. They're going to lose ships, and they'll be lucky to avoid losing a tower.
