Hasn’t the big complaint on the F22 been that the amount of maintenance it requires is insanely high compared to the fighters it is replacing?
Yes.

The melt over the damage to these planes is ridiculous. Original reports were "total loss" but that has since been debunked.

Yep

“We also looked into each of the hangars that housed aircraft which weathered the storm for maintenance or safety reasons. Visually, they were all intact and looked much better than expected considering the surrounding damage to some structures. Our maintenance professionals will do a detailed assessment of the F-22 Raptors and other aircraft before we can say with certainty that damaged aircraft can be repaired and sent back into the skies. However, damage was less than we feared and preliminary indications are promising.”
