The pitch is probably only gonna be around 4:12, as that’s what my front gable is....roof is 5:12 on house

You just want to make sure you have enough stiffness. That can be largely affected by the column connections. If you have a full moment connection at the foundation the upper portion can be lighter. If you have a weak connection then you need to stiffen the upper to resist the loading.
