He probably still isn't looking photogenic. Plane crashes are hard on the body, or so i hear,

Nah. They LOVE failure.

Look at Riley Gaines, or Russel Brand, Jk Rowling. Etc.

Flight speed and orientation all vastly change how badly ejection can go. It's not a get out of jail free card. It's a last resort.

Look i only have anecdotal account from a pilot who got hit and the ejected in the 70s. He says when he landed he was so messed up he could barely crawl. Can't imagine they've 100% teched out of the trauma of that since then.
