I'm guessing since Gluster was striping across this and 3 other nodes, I'm
pretty much left with whatever data I was able to backup prior to this

that didn't have stripes on this node. I still haven't heard if gluster will
fail on a copy if the file could not be fully constructed from the stripes.

I suppose it's time for some diagnostics to see if the node is worth
rebuilding or I need to order anything.

What RAID card (or is this SW RAID)?  I'd start with the diagnostics.

Was the volume striping or distributed? If striping, the data is possibly toast, and I'd suggest more effort in recovering the device. If distributed, you will be missing some files.
