Any barn type steel roof with exposed screws has a chance of leaking. Every one of those hundreds or even thousands of neoprene gaskets is a leak possibility. One small kink in a seam might let water get through the seam. Any screw tightened too tight on a seam ridge might buckle the seam just enough to create a leak. Every building on my farm has a steel roof so ai am well aware of the leak possibilities from a steel roof.
The house roof has steel put on with screws but I put it over shingles with 2X4 furring strips so the shingles underneath catch any drip that might come from the steel. My latest project was a cattle shed I converted into a heated shop. The old galvanized steel roof had a few drips, not good when attic insulation is below it so I nailed down 2X4 furring strips on top of the old galvanized steel and screwed down regular barn steel roofing on the furring strips. The old steel might catch the few drips from the new steel and I am hoping the two layers with a 1 1/2 ' gap between the two will suppress condensation. My old shop, built in 1982, is pole construction with steel roof and side walls. The gray blown in insulation is now matted down from condensation drip from the steel roof and a few rain leaks.
