Nah, that looks pretty up to code.

Just kick them a bit to be sure they are correctly attached.

Are those load-bearing furring strips?

No. Remove the 2x2s, you’re fucking up an otherwise good aesthetic.

It's fine because there's an equal and opposite balcony on the other side of the house... So they balance each other out.

Technically, you could remove them and it would have nearly the same effect.

Might not be that long, they could have easily had it all lying around. They don't seem like the type to go out and buy new lumber just because.

That's not true at all.
The bowing out wood underneath makes it look WAY more precarious to the average person. Without some sort of visual out audio cue to signal stress, often people assume that anything that stands without moving and looks intentional is secure.
In summary, if you remove them, unobservant people will lose out on their opportunity to look upon it with fear.

Chair needs to be closer to the front, otherwise it's a wasted view.

Funny. Nice cantilever balcony

It looks like the entire image is tilted, to make it look like the balcony is sagging.

The wood looks weathered, but not rotten. And the joist on the front is probably the most weathered, since it is the most exposed to sun and rain, while the others have been protected by the roof.
I'd argue for a thorough inspection, and my bet is that most of the joists would be in pretty decent shape. Replace the ones that need replacing, and then sand and stain for better weather resistance in the future. Would probably be a project that takes a couple weekends for a competent DIY-er.

It does have a mild fish-eye to it.

That thing is waaayyy too long to be cantilevered. 24" of max overhang is a pretty typical standard for deck. That doesn't include the roof. Even with that, they would need to have modified the supporting exterior wall to handle the extra load.
The question is when not if it's going to fall off the house.
