Always good to replace damaged parts but If you clean up the surface where it is smooth enough to get the bearing back on without play it will be fine. I have had this happen and done this with out problem while still working three years latter. If it is loose or has play it will need replacing. I have bought spindles from a suppliers for less than $20 but when you weld them in you must get them 100% straight or you will have excessive tire ware. You will loose the galvanized protection but I have an industrial product that will re galvanize the welds but not as good as hot dipping it. You heat it and melt the product over the area. Forget what the product is called. Long as the new bearing is tight on the repaired area let her ride and don't worry it should be fine.
