Welcome to the forum
There is no one or any way to determine the damage without removing the bumper cover (I see a lot of damage on the cover but no way with the structural supports) and the trunk lid and other body parts to inspect the damages.

You can't compare? This type of body damage needs to be completely inspected by a quality body shop or frame specialist. If you have some bulking in the boot/truck area that may or may not be serious. But until a professional look at all the damage and removes body parts possibly do a frame measurement there is nothing and no one on a forum that can give you advise about if it is serious or minor.

I understand the thought that you would like to read that someone says they had the same and it's no big deal! We have had vehicles in the shop with less damage than your pictures and when inspecting it found the rear section of the frame was bent. This effected the complete rear suspension and had to be straightened by way of a professional hydraulic frame straitening machine

I was rear-ended about a year ago. It was repaired and it looks and drives fine. Your body man will be able to advise on significant damage.

It is service shop for chassis and suspension and the body shop for everything else. So to the op make sure both departs give their assessment.
