that's what my EB looks like and I just prune it out at first sight usually. a lot of my plants are not greatly affected and "grow out" of the EB when the weather clears.
personally, I would not replace, but I am not the voice of reason either. in addition, I don't spray either for EB, just snip and clip usually.
If anything, a thicker mulch of straw may be helpful. The beds I lay it on thick, don't get it usually, and the once I chinch on, do.
EB is one of my least concerns "down here," might be more of a factor up there in Conn. - IDK.
However, I do use good clean practice and wipe of my clippers with a bleach rag between plants, fwiw.
have a great season and hope you get some solid answers here. and lots of tomatoes.
