Are those giant trees in distress, or in a healthy, natural state of bark shedding?

Oh yes that's natural.. I remember reading a DH Lawrence book once (Kangaroo) and he'd used the bark shedding as a symbol of the character being dispossessed - so foreign this new landscape seemed, so unlike England - the shedding bark was so strange! At least that's how I remember it - maybe it wasn't even that book, haha. Damn you memory. But yes, some species shed more than others.

Reminds me a little of Birch trees that shed their outer bark, with so many practical uses for, including tinder to help start a campfire, even in damp woodlands.😎
