Personally, I'd just leave it alone if I could. As long as it is still structurally good (no cracks in the metal beams) and there isn't any rubbing/interference, I would just keep the damaged one on there and regularly monitor it.

How did the alignment turn out? Were they able to dial it back to your desired specs? If the alignment couldn't be corrected, have you considered just upgrading to adjustable suspension components to allow you to dial the alignment in?
It's not structurally good. When it is hit the mounts collapse and you replace the subframe. That would be the same as crashing the front and only replacing the sheet metal. Fix it properly and move on.

Lesson learned, don't do donuts next to curbs.
