A repair like that here in the UK would fail the annual MOT test. It has to be welded metal panels. Our Transit Connects get the same problem. Mostly Ford cars last a long time but their Transits, not just the Connect, but the bigger ones too, seem to have been made to rust like yours.
I think it'll pass here but I'll have to give an update on that! You'd think they'd make stainless rocker panels but I guess then you sell fewer parts and fewer vehicles :/
