To be fair, Total Eclipse was never supposed to be about the big war, it was a sidestory.
As I've said before, an analogy to this is comparing the training episodes of Band of Brothers to the rest of the war episodes; or, alternatively, a movie about Spitfire R&D versus the Battle of Britain. The role they're playing at Yukon is important; it's just that the effects aren't readily seen.
Also, in all fairness to Kouki, the beach episodes cane about because TE was supposed to end at episode 5, with the Yui/Yuuya duel. That's where Kouki planned to end the serial novel. Then it was realised that TE was wildly popular and had the potential to be expanded further, so Kouki whipped up the beach episodes quickly to give himself some room to plan out that later arcs, which resulted in Kamchatka, Blue Flag and Red Shift.
As for your statement that the later episodes ignore how the world is being eaten, I assume that means you skipped over Kamchatka and Red Shift.
