Screened Porch Questions

I would like to open up my screened porch. I have a relatively small backyard and this porch makes it feel broken up and confined.

I would like to take out the screens and middle 2 x 4s (on the exterior that look like upside down T's), leaving the roof, deck, 4 x 4s posts and 2 x 6 top joists and all of the things holding up the roof.

I am wondering if you all have any input on this idea.

Structurally is it viable?

I would really like to take down everything and just leave the deck, but the roof and sides are attached to the house and would leave me with a larger cost to redo the side panels of the house, paint, etc.
