Certainly think this will put the spotlight on the failing(s) in this devastating and sad accident.
I'm pretty confident that the recorder will be just fine. If there is a silver lining to an accident with a brand new aircraft, it's that it has brand new recorders - and the new solid state recorders are vastly better than the older models.
A month or two in ~150 ft. deep salt water is a cake walk compared to what the latest generation of recorders are designed for.
