re: EIFS (synthetic stucco) questions - is this panelization concerning? UPDATE in OP

The panels are made of styrofoam and are glued to the underlying sheathing. The panels are also secured along the seams by nails and 1.5” plastic washers. The nails effectively secure the seams, but the middle of the panels can become unglued if moisture gets between the panel and the sheathing. That’s why the middle of the panels are bulging outward. I don’t think the panels can be re-glued, but I could be wrong.
The existing panels can removed and replaced, and a new outer coating would have to be applied, unless you switch to siding.

Thank you. That helps a lot.
Based on your understanding/experience, is the only solution a complete teardown/re-stucco then?
ETA: just saw your edit. Understood. So looks like a bigger job than just some patching and re finishing. Well that sucks.
