So far, what you have is a list of opinions. I could give you mine, but just as is the case with the others, it may or may not have any validity.
You need to look at your local/state building codes for requirements on engineered truss construction. You can build a building that is a virtual bomb shelter, and if it doesn't comply with building codes of jurisdiction. all is for naught.
I spent 40+ years in the construction industry, about half in the field (as a carpenter) then after completing a degree in structural engineering, I moved into the office as an estimator, then on to project engineer.

Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
