When I remodeled our house in Ga, I added 4 skylights in a new roof. The roofer was there the day I installed them and he made sure they were tight as he did the shingles. The sunlight and view of the night sky were indeed welcome. The additional summer heat was not, but we tolerated it mostly by staying out of those rooms daytime and keeping the ac going. So when designing our Hawaiian home, skylights were on the list. Of course this was to be a metal roof. After getting cautious reports, I did some research and the predominant advise was against. Having observed our rain patterns these past few years, I'm glad we don't had the potential leakers although at times I miss the view.
BTW, in prepping the Ga house to sell for our move, I opted for a roof reshingle as the existing roof was showing its age, but still had a year or two of life. Figured it would help the resale. After the first rain, the roofer had to return as now 2 of the 4 skylights leaked - not a good selling point
