Yeah based on this picture they look OK. Be extra careful of corners and edges.

My House on my deck, even if the boards are all perfect, I would pressure wash, let dry and then recoat with wood treatment. With a good fresh coat they will last even longer, make sure to replace anything that is even a little soft.

I have never used Joist tape(?) so I am not familiar with the product. I would guess it covered the top few inches of the board and that will probably help in the long term as long as the boards can dry out properly.

I always use the copper wood treatment on joist tops too. Easy brush on, thank God the smell goes away relatively quickly because I can not stand that odor.
