Done all the time. Look in the ceiling of a typical 2 car garage ranch. See 2009 national code below ( I don't have more recent version handy) I believe spans were even longer in the prior codes, they are typically downgraded in every revision.
In OP's case, I would not assume roof trusts can be tied to used to support additional weight of ceiling or sheetrock.
