It would probably have been noticeable to the probe. But probably not fatal - the probe is actually designed to withstand somewhat worse conditions than it actually experienced during the pass.
"The cosmos his equations described was not a stable one. It must, they said, either expand or contract; and under the action of gravity this instability seemed doomed to one day result in utter collapse."
If I understand, and I probably don't, the documentary Everything and Nothing claimed that space consists of zillions of tiny particles that pop in and out of existence a billion times a second.
If true, maybe the universe is a large version of that pattern? Popping in and out of existence continually on a much larger time frame?
PS: Space itself seems the real story of reality. Interested in learning more about it's nature.
I am curious if the Solar Wind burp the Sun did the other day would have affected the Parker Solar Probe if it was there?

In 2022, the probe actually did pass through a solar outburst and not only survived but sent back a bunch of useful data. Maybe it will even happen again in the future -https://www.jhuapl.edu/news/news-releases/230915b-nasa-parker-probe-close-encounter-with-coronal-mass-ejection-cme
