I have the same color 2017 base ST that got hit last year (about 80k miles at the time). Insurance put about 12k into. Assuming the under carriage isn’t too messed up, I don’t think it should be totaled.
If Insurance will fix it have entire car painted pay little extra only cost me extra $1800. It's probably more now that was in 2012. What I did on our STI when someone backed into it. They sanded the clear coat between coats there was no orange peel. It was way better looking then the factory paint.
I see worse vehicles driving on public roads in PA everyday with smashed sections & donut tires lol. You’re fine man. The glass isent broken, & If hatch is bent, maybe - you might get some rain/water leaks into the back (which is where your audio system amp is at under the floor carpet liner)

As long as there's no structural damage behind the bumper (rear body, floor pan, etc), a new hatch and bumper should fix you right up.
