I think you're way over thinking this, unless you plan to climb on top with your mates there's almost no load on those rafters. Buy a 2x6 and stand it on a couple of blocks that distance apart to see the deflection unloaded and see how comfortable you feel having it above your head.

You could park a car on that. Not at speed mind you.
