I'd be willing to bet they'll have a proper flame trench for the next launch so this won't be a major issue going forward.

That's an odd bet to make, considering SpaceX don't have any plans to build a flame trench. They plan instead to build a "flame-plate"; basically a flame trench without the trench, just the deluge system.

There has been conflicting info, but there's also a prediction market bet on it: https://manifold.markets/Mqrius/will-spacex-build-a-flame-tr...

There's no room for a trench there. They're only a couple feed above water there.

Well you can always go up with the whole installation. Its expensive but possible.
