KT,
It's surprising that no one has posted a how-to on this anywhere on the intertubes. I imagine you looked, and like me, found zero information on best practices for insulating tray ceilings.
FWIW, I had a these assembles in two of my homes and understand your concern about keeping them covered. If I had to imagine a solution, I could conceive of using EPS (or some other lightweight material) to create a dam around the perimeter of the tray ceiling and hold the cellulose in place.
This reply will give your question a bump and maybe one of the building professionals will suggest a better idea.
