Experts […] have updated 2024 YR4’s chance of impacting the Moon on Dec. 22, 2032 from 1.7% as of late February to 3.8% based on the Webb data and observations from ground-based telescopes.

So still a pretty small chance.

Space is pretty big after all. The fact we're even at a human-readable percentage is unlikely to start with.
