Is...is the wing damage something that could be fixed if they were in less-hostile territory (without just a respawn)?
CAN it be fixed when they eventually make it home? Or is it permanent damage by that point since its so far away?

mhm! he is so very creeper-cursed!
the wing damage would be easily fixed with an instant respawn, but as we know, that's not an option in hhau. the wings could still fare better, not necessarily healed, just less bad, if scar didn't tuck the injury away and pretended it doesn't exist. if he kept his wings out and took some care of them.
would that be realistic? they were in a cave, hidden away. but scar's focus was on keeping grian calm (which heavily involves not admitting he just almost died permanently), and he also didn't really want to face that damage and pain in his wings. in many ways, keeping them away was easier.
plus, it's not like they had any healing supplies at this point. (if they did, believe me, they'd all go to grian, as there was a real threat grian might actually die without them.) (yep scar was so distraught, he had nothing to offer but he was doing his best.)
if we take an ideal scenario, wings out and healing supplies, the damage could've been mitigated, yes. fixed completely? well, that's a wholly different thing.
can be fixed once they get back on hermitcraft? questionable. (just because me and link still haven't decided jxncbk) maybe with use of a lot of magic. or maybe cub knows a way to help. but either way, there are no simple solutions and no easy answers. the wings will stay tattered even through a respawn, because at that point, it's been about a year. it sets into the code, stays permanent. (kind of like the scars that grian gets in that hostile world—they'll stay forever.)
but! as link said in their post about hhau vex scar, the wings are only half-corporeal, and they mostly function on magic rather than anything else, so in theory he could still manage to use them for gliding, even in their tattered state. (and once i kick myself to put together those remaining mimic au rambles, maybe we'll even get to see that cjhxbnj)
10 Great Horror and Sci-Fi TV Shows You Can Stream For Free on Tubi
Farscape: The cult-beloved sci-fi series about a ragtag crew aboard a living spaceship had the magic of the Jim Henson Company helping bring its alien and robot characters to life. An Australian-American co-production, it hit U.S. airwaves on what what then called the Sci-Fi Channel in 1999; it was cancelled in 2002 but a 2004 miniseries directed by Brian Henson helped soothe the series’ abrupt ending. Watch seasons 1-4 on Tubi, as well as Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars.
...
Red Dwarf: The cult-beloved theme continues with Red Dwarf, a long-running British comedy about the last human in existence and his companions (holographic, AI, creature, android, and otherwise) aboard a drifting mining ship. It first aired in 1988 and Tubi has all 12 seasons (including three-part 2009 special Back to Earth), though completists will need to look elsewhere for 2020 special Red Dwarf: The Promised Land. Watch seasons 1-12 on Tubi.
...
Babylon 5: Yes, it’s another title with a passionate fan following: J. Michael Straczynski’s 1990s sci-fi saga that aired first on the now-defunct Prime Time Entertainment Network before shifting to TNT. Named for the space station where its 23rd century action takes place, Babylon 5 spawned a franchise that’s still going—including several made-for-TV movies and a direct-to-video animated film released just last year, something to keep in mind if you get hooked watching the 110 episodes that make up the series itself. Watch seasons 1-5 on Tubi.
