No. If you have a ventilated attic, I would extend the sheathing at the perimeter wall enough to not allow spillage of blown insulation into the deck ceiling. If you have a non-ventilated attic, I would extend the sheathing to under the roof sheathing and insulate as a regular exterior wall inside the house.
