Interior wall tie roof rafter

So should I be concerned about it? add blocking? If I do add blocking I will have the shim the blocking up 3/16' of an inch so that it's the same plane as the truss chord since most of my walls are 1/8' to 3/16' from touching the truss. I get the logic behind *not* screwing drywall to blocking because the truss chords move with temp/humidity.but I also believe that a mudded corner at the ceiling to wall joint will *not* be forgiving when truss chords move. Roof Framing: collar ties, rafter ties, tension beams & structural ridge beams: some of these can support the roof and prevent ridge sagging and wall spreading. Clips, 2圆 on top of the top plate, no backing, backing only if truss isn't within 12', etc. Is there any right answer about ceiling drywall backing? I hear so many differing suggestions. I'm getting concerned as rough ins are finishing up. I am seeing the gap between truss chord and wall top plate vary along each truss so that tells me it's definitely the truss that is causing the gap and not my framing.

In all reality, my walls seem extremely sturdy due to all the perpendicular walls that help tie it together. Replying to circle back to this discussion.
