Metal roof flashings
Most of the time I do not see kick out flashings on metal roofs. Does the elevated strip of sidewall flashing reduce the need for kick outs. Futhermore, there are all kinds of different vent stack flashing configurations. Any thoughts on these.

Re: Metal roof flashings
Still need kick out flashings, see the water stains down the wood siding?
There is no storm collar on one of the vent pipes, both appear to rely on caulk to seal, not proper. The flashing appears to be screwed onto the roof with sheet metal screws, maybe a site built item. They flashing MIGHT do the job, but I would not bet on it. Someone here will have more metal roof experience, but I would be calling it out.

Re: Metal roof flashings
Like Jim said, kick-out flashings are still needed.
Those through penetrations don't look right either. Might not leak now, but could be problematic in the future.
Through penetrations are difficult on metal roofs. The standard is similar to what you have there, but not my favorite as it relies on a gasket. I prefer to see it done similar to shingle flashing. I know people disagree, but if done correctly, if is foolproof.

Re: Metal roof flashings
I agree with the others that kickout flashings are required, especially for wood siding.
The vent flashings are well described and illustrated in the NRCA Roofing Manual: Metal Panel and SPF Roof Systems—2008
