I would think a machine shop could take a few thousands off and be good, that looks pretty mild.

There is no reason why you should not try sanding and re using it, it is not that bad. I have seen people use ones that are in a worse shape and still sanding them and re using. You will be good with this one, just do a little bit sanding and that is it. If you need a sander ( I think that everyone needs one ), you should go look at top rated sanders for this year. I love buying new tools and my wife gets crazy when I do it. Sometimes I hide the new things that I get just to avoid her nagging about it, she has no idea what I have in the tool shed....

I’ve never in my life heard of turning/machining a pressure plate. Ever.

Can’t zoom pic for some reason.

Is it pitted or just discolored?

That looks like normal wear to me. Clutches get hot due to the friction, no way around it. Toss that bitch back in and run it!
