I only have two rooms that are standard height ,,and they have crawl entrances by way of the garage,, I have vaulted ceilings else where ..I could take a look see of the garage roof underside though ,.,it should be the same as the the house beings it's connected ,,back when I did remodeling I always used 5/8 cdx sheathing for roofs .. never seen a sag between rafters ..

I seen plywood 4X8 X 3/4 going for $95 a sheet the other day..
