Where does it say I have to use an escutcheon on a pendant head? If recessed yes, a listed escutcheon for that head. As long as I don't recess the head seems like I wouldn't. As long as the clg is above or right even with the top of the arms the head wouldn't be recessed. Even if there is a nominal gap around the threads, RC or pipe depending on elevation I don't see where even filling/covering this gap is a requirement. This isn't a rated membrane penetration covered in IBC 712.3.2. Even then it's a metal escutcheon which might be a pipe ring not a sprinkler head escutcheon.
