Insulation is only installed to create a heat transfer barrier between a conditioned and an unconditioned space. The garage and the attic above it are both unconditioned spaces, therefore, there is no need to install insulation. Same for the lanai. Adding insulation above the lanai and garage would be a waste of money. Also, I don't think it will do anything to prevent ceiling cracks.
