Is this brick facade possible?

I am planning on building a home this year and have a set of plans, while going through the design I realized that it may be difficult to support the brick facade above my vaulted covered porch. To my understanding brick needs to be supported either by a brick ledge or by steel angle brackets. I can across the following documentation explaining how to support this wall: https://www.jlconline.com/how-to/framing/supporting-brick-veneer-on-wood-framing_o However given the vaulted ceiling below the brick wall I am not sure if I will have the space to apply the supports, or that the vaulted ceiling will be strong enough to support the weight of the brick.

For reference, the gray wall in the first picture will be brick, the green walls will be siding.

Does anyone have any advice on how to approach this? Should I consider going with thin brick or siding in this situation?
