There is definitely ships getting stuck.
You're right about lack of oar breaking & glancing blows.
Exploding ships is a bit silly looking but its clear that big ships really did smash smaller ships with good rams.
Also quite comical is the fully armored troops doing like 5m leaps from bow to other boat, from that vid though I think I will be willing to suspend disbelief on that for purposes of gameplay, much better than some slow, probably buggy animation with boards or something.
