It's my understanding that armor only reduces damage inflicted to health, and has no effect on shields, which take 100% of the damage. So unless you mod your warframe to be a tank, I see no reason why a max shield mod alone can be useless. For frames that have speed like Loki, Nova or Ash the deciding factor could be on how you play I guess? After all, what doesn't hit you can't kill you.
