That's what I'd do with yours. I'd box the existing so they were deeper and fill in between with 3" foam and your T & G. You will need nailers at the beams and one down the center.
My wife and I discussed boxing in the beams and still haven't given up on that idea at this point.

Man, when I think of all the time I put into caulking and painting that ceiling 20 years ago.....
