Looks like normal rust. Most casted engine blocks will have the same issue. Some sooner some later. This is also based on were you live. By beach. Salt on roads.

I guess it depends on how thick the remaining metal is under those cracks. That question would bug me if it were my Jeep as that is a stress point.
