Most food factory's, cold stores and freezers are made from those panels. Very easy to assemble and self supporting.

I've been 14yrs in a workshop with spray foamed big six asbestos roof.
The insulation is fantastic and the workshop much much better for it....
The foam is also a nightmare! Thankfully not my nightmare as I'm moving to a new place however the foam serves to mask problems (water leaks) and makes it impossible to identify the source of the leaks.

its not really a sore point
a standared roof is only 70 years guarantee felted roofs are less than that due to the felt compared to the older none felt roofs that have lasted the test of time
we used to have boards where the felt used to run, stone/slate roofs didnt have that instead they had lime mix to seal joints
nowadays even that felt roof has changed to lifted latts before doing the slates above them just to stop the latts from rotting away we are still waiting for the outcome will they last the test of time
the uprights in this picture also known as the rafter latts

for house roofs and other roofs that are timber latted we are still waiting for the test of time to see if treated timber is adequate to protect them
treated timber across the rafters with felt under the latte failed due to water collecting behind the latte the droop that the old tar felt saved many roof lattes but not at the edges where the felt failed or failed due to heat and dropped inbetween the rafters
the main failure for treated latts was at the point of boarded then cross latted across the rafters on the felted board rotted them alot faster
those type of roofs didnt last 30 years out of the 70 years a normal latted roof had
ive just done one roof on another property I own , and all the wood was done with fencing timber as its pressure treated , I spoke to the felt manufacturer and they said no reason not to ,, will it last , no idea do I care ,,, not really , it will see me out either way.
lol ,,, its a sore point when you have to pay for it ,,,

Thats my current view, will it out last me, yes ok, no problem. No, best find a better option then!
Dunno, but if you look at all the biologically created lightening holes in my roof structure, I think you would at least give it a try!
