I have a cabin where extreme cold makes the vinyl flooring very brittle to the extent I can feel it break a little more with each step. It’s on my list for replacement. Sound like you should be safe at those temperatures and even somewhat less.

You mentioned it’s a porch so I automatically think it’s gonna get below freezing in there. Laminate flooring is intended for buildings that will have temperatures maintained between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
Do otherwise at your own risk.

The joists are ok. Everyone is talking about joist tape but you must evaluate the fasteners holding it all together too. It’s not uncommon to find the screws are severely rusted and about ready to snap.
