I'm sure housing of all kinds - including hotels and AirBnBs - will be at even more of a premium than ever before. I would assume the time it takes to re-build a home is substantially longer in Hawaii than in the Continental US.
If I lived in Hawaii, I'd imagine the extra traffic, wait times, congestion, and annoyance from tourists is the last thing they want to deal with for at least the 18+ months while they re-build their lives. Just cancel the trip.

I’ll play devil’s advocate, and recommend going if you are up to it and nothing from the state of Hawaii recommends against it.
Hawaii is based on tourism and they are going to want the money. Many of the ignorant locals hate tourists no matter what, so sure some of them would never want you there.
But the absolute hardest part about rebuilding for locals is rebuilding the economy. Sure they will have some government assistance for a bit, but that doesn’t last forever and it’s rarely enough. The people that own restaurants, tourist businesses like fishing guides, dive shops, etc. all need someone to pay them also.
