1) the majority of the aleppo codex (~70%?) is extant
2) there is no evidence that any of the ms. was burned
3) cassuto's notes are far from comprehensive (i think he only spent about 20
hours with it)
4) there has been a tremendous amount of work by israeli scholars (e.g.,
mordechai breuer, jordan penkower, yosef ofer, etc.) in reconstructing the
missing parts by studying various external witnesses to the codex
5) iirc, the aleppo codex matches not only its own massorah pretty well, but
also of a composite masorah/mesirah.

best wishes,
