Probably not.
The error you posted is a failure to read the journal. That means you
might have lost any recent writes, but the data may be largely preserved -
so far.
What I do in these situations is to copy the partition image somewhere
else (using dd_rescue or similar) and then e2fsck it there.
You should get all or nearly all of your data back. Linux filesystems are
really quite resilient.
