Since lateral-load is in compression from QR-skewer, it really doesn't matter what you use as long as it holds metal insert. Heck, even double-sided tape or bubble-gum will be fine.

Vertical loading from weight goes upward into structure same as before.

I'd ride it. The piece that fell off was only bonded on and thus only slightly structural. The skewer will keep everything in place. Just inspect frequently.
