It’s better to do post and core build up for compensating the lost tooth structure. This procedure can increase the strength of the tooth and particularly this tooth is highly stress bearing tooth ,so Post and core buildup followed by prosthetic crown will increase the life of that tooth
Next Steps
Post and core followed by prosthetic crown

Yes go for post as your most of the tooth structure is compromised due to which the crown would have been weak.
