This is a safety issue. Graphite shattering is not like a steel shaft and will splinter into made sharp pieces. I would get this club out of play immediately.
Sorry for your misfortune.

At that point, performance is compromised. However, I'd be more concerned about handling it and potentially getting a cut or splinter from the sharp edges. Hopefully you have the SureFit adapter and a shaft can be easily swapped out.

Time to get a new shaft. It will eventually fail and you do not want to injure anyone.

You should stop using that driver right away. The shaft is in danger of breaking and that will present a very dangerous situation if it happens when you hit the ball.

If it were mine I would have it checked out to ensure that it is not fractured/cracked, with a local professional repair shop. Cannot not say I have ever seen this condition. Have you hit the club against something?
