Based on the approach speed alone I would think you are looking at a serious amount of runway required. There was a headwind but ISA+10/15 at 5500AMSL is going to add all that back in plus a bit. To be on the safe side you’d plan on losing a reverser as you don’t know with the cowl damage if it will deploy.

Would be surprised if brakes on was less than 200kts groundspeed. Long time since I flew the 737 but that’s going to need a lot of the runway assuming the brakes can take that level of input and still slow you down...
