I'm speaking to the method in general and don't know the specifics of bluestore. Recovering from a failed journal in this way is only a good idea if you were able to flush the journal before making a new one. If the journal failed during operation and you couldn't cleanly flush the journal, then the data on the OSD could not be guaranteed and would need to be wiped and started over. The same would go for the block.wal and block.db partitions if you can find the corresponding commands for them.
