Without specific knowledge of where each and every bit of debris
larger than a sugar cube is, and of where it's going, you're taking
great risk, especially since so much tonnage has become unaccounted
for.

There's only a few of those highly sought after GSO parking spaces
left, unless something else is eliminated.

LEO is getting crowded, especially for missions that must avoid the
SAA contour.
