Dents, mostly. Small points of impact damage will compromise the coating ever so slightly, allowing water infilitration and eventually rust "blistering." field repair of that is difficult on older style panels, and given how many homeowners already straight up ignore casual maintenance tasks, it can get out of hand pretty quickly. Newer steel paneling systems are much more resilient and much easier to repair. Internal structure is easier to modify in modern steel systems and they're actually pretty straightforward to setup and maintain.
If the Lustron concepts were redone today, they would probably be much better to live in and much more repairable, but the ship has sort of sailed on the concept from a public perception point of view. That being said, I live in a repurposed steel building, and "Barndos" are gaining in popularity, so who knows, maybe it'll get a second wind at some point.
Nothing that I know of, although the only one of these in my town (that I'm aware of) actually had a fire in it about 20 years ago and would have to be gutted.
I also suspect finding replacement wares for it could be rather difficult since it was built in the 60s.
The turd shaped hedges are a nice touch
Why use steel when there's aluminium? (Or even aluminum.)
Aren't they too thin?
Spend more money.
Hard to reconfigure interior spaces

Wooden debris is less dangerous than steel or concrete.
