I've seen cathedral radios busted in 3-5 pieces, missing half their veneer, chunks missing from the moldings, etc. (Basically 10x worse) restored to like new many times (I've even done a couple basket cases myself). There's no question that it's restorable.
Whether it's worth it to you or not is your call. (Granted a lot of TVs that get recaped sell for less than the caps cost so monitary worth isn't the yard stick most restorers go by.) The advantage to learning advanced cabinet restoration on something like this (most common 7" electrostatic) set VS something valuable like a CT-100 or Zenith Stratosphere is if you mess up on this Motorola nobody is going to be too sad about it.

I've seen a video (I think...it might have been a post on here) of a guy who had an early Philco set that had been sitting out in the rain for years, it was basically just a pile of delaminated plywood and rust. He was able to get that cabinet looking like new. As I recall it took a long time, and was a lot of work, re-gluing and flattening the plywood, etc., but it looked amazing at the end. Anything is possible! Yours is kind of the polar opposite of the mint one that Bob A just finished up.

I would restore it too. All the key stuff is there. You even have a full set of knobs
