Worth writing up or not?

Re: Would you fail this?

Yes! The romex needs to trimmed back and what I can see is a spaghetti factor starting.

Last, I don't approve OSB set direct to block or poured foundations. It tends to fall apart with just a little water. Then the panel is waving in the air not secured. Put a few treated 2x4 behind it and it is fine.

Are the wires fasten above the box or just held in place by gravity?

The issue is not the NM sheath but the fact that the NM is not secured within 12" of the enclosure and there is ductwork above the box.
