any info yet on whether this will be a hull loss?
Unless there is significant damage not yet reported then, 'No, not a chance''. One new engine and possibly one new wing is still much less than the total hull cost.

Look at some of the aircraft that Boeing have put back together and have flown again, for example, TMA Freighter Boeing 747 at Athens, which broke in half, Air France B747 severely damaged at Delhi but was flown out after repair.
