If there's a possibility of losing metadata then I only want to do this to the affected files, right?

Unless you know that there is custom or unusual EXIF metadata, it should be ok, though maybe add -unsafe as well.  And only run it on jpgs.  You do not want to run it on any RAW type file (NEF, CR2/3, etc).

QuoteAnd because this is a Metadata header issue (presuming the hex is part of that?) then I can't currently apply an -if option to find these files with Exiftool?  Or am I underestimating it again?

You would probably have to wait for the next version of exiftool to test for the Warning condition.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

It wouldn't be easy to test for this specific warning, which is what you would want to do.
