Last time I checked...and I've had a BRS chute on my glider since the
mid'80s...the company is explicit that their system is a life-
preservation system, and not an aircraft-preservation system.
Cirrus pilots I've talked with have said that the BRS system has zero
impact on hull insurance.
I suspect but cannot confirm that survivability depends in part on the
airframe absorbing some of the impact energy...a Cirrus sales rep
would give you the whole story.
