In my experience, the most common problem with loquat trees is fire blight. Here is California, we've had a few bad fire blight years, and my loquat had similar damage to yours. I removed all the damaged foliage, taking care to clean my shears after every cut, and dispose of the cuttings off site. In my climate, loquats do very well, and generally it's only the younger trees that have a problem. I had no fruit this year, because I had to prune so severely. But now the tree looks much better. Hopefully, others will weigh in with their experience.
