I'm not sure how similar the cracks in your photo are to those on my
Viburnam. Unfortunately I can't take any more photos, I've got rid of the tree.
Phytophthora was my initial best guess as well, but would it cause the large-
scale sponginess of the tree and roots I am seeing?

No. The sponginess will be due to a fungus. Also, as Nick has noted, if
the leaves were pretty much untouched, it won't be Phytophthora or
Verticillium.
