OP here, now that mine is finished building and I've stuck 3 forma on it, here's the answers to my own questions:

1) Yes, her passive silences it, however it only silences the impact from the arrow itself.  The massive AoE still alerts hostiles.  If you've got Naramon stealth, enemies will be alerted, but unaware of where you are.

2) See other responses re: sonar.  You basically have to stack multiple sonars.  However, it does appear that you need not directly hit all the enemy's weak spots.  If you can get sonar points on the enemy's feet, then shoot the floor, you will reliably get the bonus.

3) Yes, Sonic Fracture works WONDERS with the Lenz.  SImply put, the Lenz has crap status chance, which means it cannot strip armor, and though the damage is good, it falls off against higher levels.  Sonic Fracture solves this.  Just make sure you mod for at least 143% Strength and 160% Range (both attainable without corrupted mods) otherwise you will have to get too close to enemies to both reach them with Sonic Fracture and also still be outside the Lenz's AoE.

4) Just an extra tip: do not use dual-stat mods on the Lenz due to the low base status chance.  Use your 90% elementals instead.  In my case, I've got Stormbringer, Infected Clip, Hellfire, Primed Cryo Rounds, Serration, Speed Trigger, Point Strike, and Vital Sense.  If you have Argon Scope and such, that's fine, but otherwise this is about the best build I can come up with.  And it's only 3 forma.  You could spend more forma, but I don't see where it'd do much good.

So there ya go. Obviously, with 3xCP you don't really need Sonic Fracture, but even then the synergy with Sonar is nice. Banshee is now my go-to frame for this weapon, and this weapon is quickly becoming my favorite in the game.
