I've never had a car with rear discs, but that kind of wear suggests to me that the caliper is binding on the guide pins. I had that happen with my wife's last car - inner pads cut to nothing while the outers were like new. No outward sign other than very gradual loss of effective braking, because those were the front pads. The rears don't act as much, so you would be less likely to notice.
I've read that the retraction method is a bear, they tend to rust up and be difficult to get the pistons in, but I've never done it.
