I wouldn't say it's too damaging yet. There is a general trend where these early galaxies are brighter than we had thought by simply extrapolating models that were built prior to JWST, but these make numerous assumptions on how efficiently stars can form and the properties of these stars. Mildly relaxing any of these assumptions can easily solve the problem within our current framework and not significantly change what happens later in the evolution of the Universe.
