Damage to artwork is the big question. The cathedral was being worked on, hopefully some of the artwork was in storage or otherwise covered up.

Notre Dame de Paris has stood for 800 years. The structure is mostly non flammable, I would think. No expense will be spared to rebuild and restore it. It represents a nation and may be the most beloved building in the world, not to mention of immense value to the tourist economy.
The external walls and naves sure but there must be ALOT of wood and such in there, that is a huge blaze. (I've never been inside)
