It doesn't make sense either way. They did recover from the Gallic sack, but the Gothic sack had basically no impact on the empire as a whole because by that stage the city of Rome was a backwater that nobody gave a shit about.

Gothic sack was still demoralizing, even if the damage wasn't as bad as the one 40 years later

Augustine wrote "city of god" partly out of motivation that Rome's recent conversion to Nicene Christianity, and outlawing of all other religions, had nothing to do with precipitating it.

It was a physiological blow to the Romans, even more so than the death of their former emperor or Hannibal bitch smacking them. It made an empire which thought themselves unstoppable and touchable world rulers go down on their knees.
