I'd say so.

In am emergency, people with broken packfiles can feed them to unpack-objects ;-)

More seriously, an alternative emergency mode may be an option to unpack-objects that does not unpack objects but streams to a new pack or something to resurret the objects that are salvageable from a corrupt packfile.
