No.
The inner threads, where the sprocket sits, look fine.
It's the outer threads that hold the lockring that looks damaged.
And hard starts and uphill climbs won't stress them.
OTOH, hard starts and climbs is a good way to get the sprocket good and tight before tightening the lockring.
Then, to test if all is well, some skids.
