In most cases, you will find that metal roofs intended for residential use will require decking in an application such as this. Some of the stone-coated steel shakes could possibly be installed over what you have but you would have to check with the manufacturers. Also, yes, some standing seam panels can be installed this way but it will be important to have very good ventilation in the attic and avoid having any condensation occur on the back of the metal.
