That flue is cutting through at an interesting place .
Is that Vermiculite? Also do not care for screw holes for the support strap.

Flue touching air duct. Air ducts not properly leaked. Not sure what that black thing is, but it is leaking - stain on the wood. Damaged insulation on one of the ducts

Also,
No work platform, and is that a 'can light' under the insulation in the background?

Clearance to combustibles was noted and I don't follow your (air ducts not properly leaked) and yes that black thingy was leaking in its past life no longer in use no water connected so no cigar here not what I am looking for.

I see torn unsuported ducts going into that abandoned humifier. What else is there??

I see a black iron gas line, and I think a furnace flue butted up next to the duct.
