recover and produce fruit or will they remained deformed and not bear?
Please, does anyone know? Should I replace them or will they recover?

Only time will tell.

I'd plan on replacing them, and keep them away from the property line
this time. :-(

I'm afraid your tomatoes are doomed. Glyphosate (Roundup) Is a relatively slow acting systemic herbicide. Even if by some miracle they do survive I doubt they will thrive, even after a sniff of the stuff. Replant now is my advice.
