What do you think?

Interesting stuff, but it's made for a somewhat different application. It goes over poured concrete, where moisture will seep from wet to dry continuously; i.e. up into the conditioned space. Buses have metal floors where the goal is to close up all the holes first.
Bottom line: I think you could get more R value into 2" of lost headroom for less bux just laying down polyiso board or other insulation of choice. Read the build threads; some frame it in, some just lay it all down, tape it, and float a floor on top.
