The Dome is, well, a dome, but in principle, the physics works the same as an arch. The keystone of an arch transfers the load to the adjacent stones, and these carry the load to the footings.
The steel roof plates in the dome act like individual stones in an arch.
The "stones" in the Dome were flopping up and down when the eyewall passed.
Not a good sign for long term stability.

STILL. It took the big storm. Common sense says the small stuff wouldn't affect it even if a less than perfect repair job is effected. And there just is no comparison to repairing the roof structure and the resources required to raze and rebuild.
