Looking at the front rotors, the pads don't seem to be engaging much on
the outer third or so of the diameter.  This is more pronounce on the
left than the right.  Could this be due to improper or lack of "shims"
under the pads?

How about grunge in the guides for the pads?  Try taking apart
and cleaning things out thoroughly, scraping etc.  If the pucks
are corroded that could do it too.

The rears I think need new rotors at this point.  They are fairly worn
and have some pronounced ridges on the outer half.  From what I can

Those can be ground off, if things are otherwise OK.

tell, I should be able to tap these off the hubs once the wheel and
caliper are removed is that right?

Not if the parking brake shoes are embedded into gouges.
You may need to back those off before trying.
