Yea. Just wait till she’s mated. At least she will come from good genetics. If she fails, then yeah introducing a mated queen would be next. Could you lose the hive altogether? Yes. You could also have a secondary swarm with that virgin. But let’s stay positive

I’ll hope for the best. There’s still a very healthy population in there. And it was really awesome hearing the new queen piping.
ETA: A few pics. My wife likes to be the photographer when we open the hive. Here’s a frame from the super. Full of honey. Also a good bit of drones crawling around.
We still have some brood
Here we have some swarm cells surrounded by drone brood and what I believe is a a dead queen (far left in photo). Looks like the side of the cell was chewed out. I’ve read the new queen will chew open other queen cells and sting them to kill them.
Those things are the devil. I haven’t had a problem with them in a long time. But I spray thuricide at the first sign of any caterpillar damage. So I guess that keeps them in check.

Went to the camp for the weekend, horn worms pretty much decimated my tomatoes. The little bastards work fast.
