No, because the failure you describe is at the filesystem level. Even the volume containing that filesystem will retain integrity, only the filesystem itself will be corrupted. As you have left free space on the volume group, you can just create a new volume, format it and copy over everything you can recover from the broken filesystem before deleting it.
