hopefully you get a good blowing rain while the flooring is up and you can target the main leaks? mainly windows which cause damage hidden under the existing flooring.
if your not pulling the existing windows then i would reconsinder and pull and re seal all of them.
the flooring and windows are a no brainer and piece of mind for a fresh build.
and you know what you have instead of your floor falling through in a new build in a few years.

Jolly Roger's words are worth re-reading.
Same thing TheHubbardBus described. No framing needed with XPS.
Remove it all & rehab the steel. No need to install (and ruin) new flooring until the building envelope is sealed. ie, windows and roof penetrations.
Some builders go too far on floor demo and continue straight on to finishing the floors.
