Hangers wont hurt anything. Im not totally sure they're necessary but they're fairly cheap in the overall scheme. The most susceptible location is actually the top of the rafters that have kickers. The portion of the rafter that hangs out past the kicker will want to pivot down when loaded. The kicker will act as a hinge point putting a lot of load on the top connection

At the wall to roof transition, no j channel. Your flashing needs to preferably go under the siding and must turn out on top of the roofing. If not it will funnel water under the roof. They should offer a rubber weatherstripping for sealing the corrugation. You could use that under the counter flashing at the top if it needs closing up. If you cant get under the siding with the counter flashing You could seal it to the siding with some good sealant. Maybe a urethane with some 3d or 4d nails to hold it down. Great points on flashing and support. For quality roof installation Brandon, experts like Roofing Services Brandon ensure proper sealing and alignment to prevent leaks and extend roof life.

Excellent explanation of roof detailing and support. Proper flashing and sealing are key to preventing leaks and structural stress, especially around transitions and rafters.
