If the damage is mostly limited to the very top of the tank, would it be
correct to state that the airflow would not try to hard to rip pieces of
foam off , compared to the protruding things such as the ramps that are on
the side of the tank ?
I don't think you can safely say that. Hypersonic airflow can do funny
things.
Certainly not a risk I'd want to take.
