With all of their horses gone, regardless of whether they win or lose this fight, the trip home is gonna be heartbreaking. If they win, they're going to ride on Eren back home.

But yes, institutionally speaking, win or lose, this battle is devastating for the survey corps. So much institutional knowledge has been destroyed and it will need to be rebuilt nearly from scratch.
