after a cursory skim through I was a bit surprised not to see recommendations regarding ECAM (irrelevant or even conflicting items), but at a second glance it seems some of this (trim tank availability) may already have been taken care of by Airbus. Seeing the extensive damage documented in detail still makes me shudder, yet simultaneously I'm thinking, chapeau to modern engineering (Airbus in this particular case, more than RR Trent):

The effect on the aircraft’s controllability in those configurations was rated as ‘minor’
and

Despite significant system and structural damage following the uncontained engine failure, the simulation identified that the aircraft had sufficient redundancy to continue safe operation
