When I did my roof I put these on. In addition to ice and water shield membrane. Been many decades now with no issues.
I visited the Lamb & Richie factory in Saugus, MA before doing roof. Had all explained to me by one of the nice employees. Showed me the machine that makes the product. Showed the tool needed for crimping. Showed me how to put on roof. The Lamb & Ritchie aluminum panels were sold at Gerrity Lumber in Meredith at that time. I used ice and water membrane, quality asphalt shinges, and the aluminum panels.
Take a look at some of the old farmhouses and one will see these panels at bottom of roof. Those old timers way back knew how to do a proper roof.
If I were doing a roof today. I would use the Lamb & Richie aluminum panels AND the ice and water shield. Yes, it is redundant. But I have had zero water leaks or ice dams for decades now.
And yes, one could go all metal to accomplish the same thing.
