Start by assessing it. They look like strong wheels and not delicate. It's a wide blade and there are no sharp corners.
Clean it up with sandpaper or a sharp knife or a dril . Leave a good clean radius Get rid of the damage. That will have to be done anyway for a repair.
How did the damage happen?
How does that spoke feel around the the damage and further out from it?
How does it compare to the other spokes?
Can you flex it?
Is there any other damage on the wheel?
Whats the brake surface like?
What are the hubs like?
Are the wheels already well worn?
It may not even need a repair
If it was me and I had satisfactory answers to those questions I would probably ride it slowly for a while and see how it went. Keep an eye on it.But that's me and I am used to doing inspections.
Certainly repairable if needed.
