As a backup, you could also take some of the leaves and put them in water so they grow roots and then repot them.

it doesn’t look happy, but jades are resilient, might not be too late if you start infrequent deep waterings with at least a week dry time in between. Don’t overwater those poor weak roots or you might kill it for real.

Give it one good soak, you may have to submerge the pot if possible for 15 or so minutes, or water it several times in the span of 20-30 minutes to get every bit of dirt wet. Then you should leave it alone until the soil dries out. It may have lost some roots to dessication so you need to be careful with watering it too much at this point.

The really wrinkled branches are dead for sure. Id water it really well and start pulling the more obviously dead parts off. They are resilient but it will definitely be a lot smaller when you figure out what’s salvageable.
