Probably will need to remove all of the stucco on the house and replace with new.
Probably some rotten wood underneath that will need to be replaced as well.
EIFS repair contractor is telling me that it's just due to age and likely fine other than the obvious areas of water intrusion he identified.
Is this possible? Or is the only explanation for that panelization related to moisture intrusion?

As someone who has dealt with stucco issues in the past, those pictures would concern me greatly. Especially if there is already water intrusion like you mentioned.
You can't really tell the extent of the damage until you start to peel back the stucco or interior walls. The roof line with no overhang is prone to leaking. If there is water leaking at that point, or at the vent, there will most likely be additional water damage including rotten studs, plywood, etc.
We recently moved back to Louisiana and we would not even consider a house with stucco.
Good luck, but if it were me, I'd move on.
