I didn't mention the design load for one nail over because I did not want
some fool trying to figure out how much attic junk that equaled.

It all comes to down to weight distribution and time.

Modify a truss or two the house most likely won't cave in. Over time you
may have some serious problems.

Your house, do as you wish. I won't help you do it by giving you risky
advice.
