    Might as well knock the corner supports and put in metal ones once the new front in on.
    I changed out a front panel, and I'm only somewhat happy with the results. I would definitely farm it out to a pro if possible,

    You have a couple of options. You could replace the whole back panel of course. That's likely the best looking. Or, you could route out the damaged area and just replace it with a piece of ply. I did that, and it was OK looking at best.
    But, I also saw someone sand the hell out of it, gouge out all of the water damage and fill in with epoxy. They sealed the whole back with it and it was largely impervious to normal damage after that.
