At several spots, the keyways are lined up for three and four courses.

I can't find any credible info from mfr's web sites.

Is it a problem.

At several spots, the keyways are lined up for three and four courses.

I would guess these are multi-course panels (3-4 courses per panel) w/out overlapping, staggered end joints. The manufacturer probably specifies caulking end joints, unless this is yet another exterior wall covering product that relies solely on building paper to protect the building.
