I think it is Mario. If it were mine i would keep it. Ive recommended (again) Weight Reduction Pruning. There will be a heightened level of risk still with the remaining 2 attachments and cabling wont really work here either.
Reducing the end weight on the major laterals and the sail area on the more upright leaders will help.
Regular monitoring of the wound will be needed.
No doubt the failure has reduced the safe useful life expectancy of the tree.
