Do I need a new boiler flue?

Had a chimney professional out to quote some exterior masonry work, and he noticed some deterioration in the oil boiler flue. We also found some clay chips in the basement cleanout.

He's recommended installing a stainless steel liner. I'm going to get some more opinions, but posting here as well - does the spalling and gap between tiles mean this needs a new liner, or is he upselling me?
