You should be fine. As long you nailed all of the joist hangers. In MI we have to use 6x6 posts in the ground.

Looking good, so you can fit all of us on this patio with social distancing, right?

I went with ledger strips instead of hangers but still ran 4x 16d toe nails in each joist end , and 3x 10ds in the ledger at each joist end. I also re-nailed all the existing joists.

At certain heights I would have gone 6x6 but it’s not required in NC, no frost issues and no snow loading so the only concern is live deck load.  I have 10 4x4 footers, plus the ledger connection to the house, plus 4 6x6 pergola posts tied into the joists with ledger screws that will take load (all on cement footers minimum 14" round, some on 16"+).  Walking on the joists it feels unbelievably solid.  It is *slightly* overbuilt per code but that’s the way I do things
