Only light storage before. It is empty and clean now.
There is a lathe/plaster ceiling underneath, which seems to be the only thing holding the joists together.
I'm going to replace any missing insulation batts and maybe add some cellulose for any gaps.
It is an unheated space.

Then I don't think weight is going to be an issue. I hate overly thin plywood. What are your plans for the attic? If living space I would say 3/4 plywood for the floor. If not, think about what will be stored, etc. up there. Even 1/2" will be stronger than what is there. I have 3/8" loose sheets in one of my attics. The sheets are actually my hurricane window covers.
