Pay for a throrough inspection and repair anything that has actually deteriorated, and that should be fine.

My biggest concern would be in the precast had "weep holes" - holes drilled in each cores so any water that enters can escape. If this doesn't happen in can freeze and cause "blowouts". Which can be repairable on an active site but id the strands are exposed for a couple years you wouldn't be able to tell the extents of the corrosion on them.

Steel will be fine, a little surface rust never hurt anyone. 90% of steel never gets a coating and the rusty surface gets clad and never seen again.
