there's a lot to do!

Oooh, that is a lot.

The benefit of boarding and the use of breathable membrane is that it
leaves your options open to do absolutely anything underneath in the
future. You've clearly got some dormer and used attic space so the
option of a warm roof is useful and the small additional cost over a
basic job should be worth it.

I'm used to seeing roofs in relatively exposed situations so would
automatically tend towards boarding, felting/membraning, battening,
counter battening and finishing. Although possibly with variations
depending on the final roof finishing. I wouldn't like to see membrane
flapping loose over rafters.

I heartily agree. A good sound roof is with a lot in terms of peace of
mind, and 50 years down the line, resale value.

It MAY even net you a bit less insurance costs.
