Notably, a roof made of anything that isn't a construction (grates, for example, are not a construction) will be vulnerable to flying building destroyers (including, but not limited to, dragons). Not sure if such a creature will actually path to it, but there you go.

Dragons can't fly.

Note that you don't need light or glass or rain to have an aboveground farm.  You just need to have tiles that light touched once.  You can freely build a solid stone roof over your farm plot and still grow plants on it.  However, unless I'm mistaken, you can't grow surface crops on muddied stone floors.   You need either surface soil or muddied dirt floors to grow surface crops.  Muddied stone floors can only be used for underground crops.
This is my understanding of it.
