My Scott CR1 has a slight problem in that the Record rear mech

Carbon stay bend?

Any material has limits. When a carbon frame is damaged it can't be
repaired.

It is NOT "bent" after all, it's just that THAT particular LBS didn't fance the wheel faffage. A different LBS will fit a new Shamal spoke, a new £80 Centaur rear mech and in the meantime I am riding this Trek.
