The only thing other than the comsetic repair to the finish seems to be the repair to the stay. The pictures do not show enough details to determine the damage and repair. But if it was done by someone you trust that has a good history of such repairs then I'm sure it will be fine.
One thing for sure is that this is a VERY nice bike. Far too nice to ride offroad in rocky areas where a fall would damage the frame all too easily.

I found some of the pictures. That's quite a bit of damage. I imagine that it cost a lot to repair it.
Just another reason why I'm happy to stick with metal for mountain bike frames...
Best of luck with the fixed bike. And try not to bust it like that again...
