Photo Restoration question

Beautiful as is!

If it could be restored and you would like the look of it better with the missing piece, but would rather keep the original as is, I would think that it would also be possible to create the missing part separately and then display it behind the original.

Maintains the original as is but yet enhances its display appearance. Probably just end up looking like it has a crease between the original and newly created piece.

If it was mine I might scan the original, then add the missing part with photoshop and then align the original on top for display.

but since it is already encapsulated in a PSA holder, I would need to
crack it open before I can matt or frame it. If I ever want to sell it, wouldn’t it
better to keep the photo in a PSA holder?

Nope. Keep it in the slab. You can still easily mat and frame as long as the frame has enough depth to it. I have framed many slabbed autographs along with photos of the corresponding player. It's actually very easy to do and looks great.
