Looks super.Am glad you have a bit of z brace in truss array but add lots more ,cheap,odd ball left over 2x or boards ,will be way more rigid when you get a heavy wind /snow load,you can even put them on the chords.
we are on 4ft center -the strength is also coming from the spacing between the bottom and top chord-and sitting 100 percent level-the knee braces were not required, but full filled my overhang need-we also added wind bracing on both ends as a big v-and extra lateral-we have extra snow load also figured in because of slope and location-thanks for the ideas though-I wondered the same thing-The truss place I talked to said I could put down solid 2x12's on the roof and still have a high snow rating as I had asked about putting 3/4 plywood down before steel for a vapor barrier.
We went with 26 gauge steel instead of 29 gauge and are going to try just steel -hopeful it will exchange air with being more open
