Hang in there...
My beloved 1997 cedar top sustained similar scratches to your guitar's, and it's now on its way back to me from El Cajon. Some people have called cedar a more fragile wood, because it is a bit softer than spruce, but I have every confidence that Taylor was up to the job, especially after I had experienced firsthand the miraculous finish repair work they had done on some of my other babies... by the way, this cedar top is still one of my favorite Taylors!
