What I did do was 1) have Solar Guys install an electric attic fan that keeps the vented garage and attic space notably cooler - probably helps with the overall utility bill too.
I also swapped out the heavy original ceiling panel with a piece of plywood (painted white) that's nice and lightweight to slip on and off.
I have quite a bit of stuff up there with the ceiling floored, mostly lightweight, and I mostly use it for Christmas decor. So really just a few times a year.
All that said, you're smarter than I am because my wife makes me go up into the attic!!

Smooth move, but you just eliminated the fire rating of the garage ceiling. Major code violation
