I never liked the Paris Notre Dame's old roof anyway. This is more beautiful. On whether it will be more likely to leak or have other problems, I will defer to Steve.

Any design can be engineered such that it does not leak.
But it’s not cheap.

Oui. With the stipulation they get rid of the garden. The point of a cathedral is to draw one's gaze upwards towards "the heavens". Although I think gardens are heavenly, I personally think cathedrals should be open to the space above. What's the experience going to be like sitting in the pews, contemplating? I wouldn't want to be reminded, "Oh, there's a garden with people walking around up there." It's kind of in the way. I don't think a cathedral roof is a good place for a garden.
