Was wondering about the insulation issue myself.  Room mate & I had a 
rental house 20 years ago -- we wanted storage, but had limited space 
between the roof truss beams, and lots of blown in fiberglass we didn't 
want to compromise. And a lease that said we weren't allow to make 
modifications to the structure.

We nailed or screwed 2x6es across the trusses above the insulation 
level, then used 2x8' plywood, as you suggested. Was probably about 8x16 
feet finished. It was just for storage, so it was ok there was a little 
flex between panels.

They make those metal "H" clips for roof sheathing - would those work 
for you?
