JWST's early galaxies didn't break the Universe. They revealed it.
Briefly

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) significantly enhanced our view of the Universe by providing unprecedented observations of star-forming regions, planetary features in our Solar System, and phenomena around dying stars. It revealed more galaxies at great cosmic distances than anticipated, particularly an abundance of bright galaxies exceeding predictions by over 100 times. Initial claims suggested that these findings undermined the standard model of cosmology, with some describing the situation as 'breaking the Universe.' However, JWST's observations clarified and enriched our understanding of cosmic history.
The James Webb Space Telescope provided crisp observations of star-forming regions, revealing gas, dust, knots, and the sites of new stars, protostars, and planets at unprecedented levels.
Observations of the ultra-distant Universe revealed an unexpected abundance of galaxies, particularly bright, luminous ones that exceeded predictions by over 100 times.
