Didn't see a rain of tiles fall off so that's good progress!

Seems like perhaps a dozen fell off.

IS there better video to count tiles? But judging by integrated test failing tiles is not a big problem now.

The leaked photos of the flight test ship before breakup didn't show many tiles missing, so it's still possible that the static fire environment is harsher, at least for vibrations, than the actual flight.
