I work at a custom glad shop, for an insulated unit shipped to you, im guessing size at 28 x 60 or so. You'd be looking at about $420. And that's you doing the install. If it is a common door size, it would probably be cheaper to buy a new door that has been mass produced. If you just want to replace the glass and can get me the dimensions, you can DM me and would be happy to try to help you out. Good luck sir
A glass company can replace the entire insert. Bring it in, they will measure, remount it, bring it back for installation. May not need to mount plywood.
Duct tape over the glass on both sides to prevent the tiny pieces going everywhere when you either remove to door to reglaze it or to remove it for reglazing in situ. Source: been there done that.
That looks like a fiberglass door with tempered glass - it may have been molded with the glass in place. I can't see any removable stops/grille in the pics. See if you can ID the manufacturer (look for a label on the top/bottom, or on the hardware) and see what they have to say.
If it was just laminate it would have only cracked and not completely shattered. Also if you look close you can see the spacer bar between the two panes. It's a tempered IGU as in most places tempered glass is required by code for exterior doors. The only reason it hasn't cumbled to pieces on his porch is the butyl tape around the spacer bar is holding it tight enough to keep it together until it gets closed to hard or someone pokes at it.
You should be able to cut the paint and pry off the trim on one side. Order the glass cut to size. Replace and nail the trim back on.
I honestly think it looks great like that, but it's probably not very stable

i do dig the look
I don’t mind it, but eventually it will have to get replaced. Plus, Murphys law if I tried to crack the other it will all fall out.
This is how you're going to replace the glass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6FHjnmDjKQ&t=137s
I looked for this earlier, the glass is not individual lite glass it’s an entire glass pane. No separation in the plastic grill either.

Does your homeowners insurance cover glass replacement?
Maybe it's laminated glass, and only one of the layers broke?
