I think you're underestimating the power of a single Sentient. Just one can easily one shot even somewhat tanky frames, and they put up a decent fight for even experienced players. Sentients are hardwired for terminating entire species with great efficiency too. Not even the Infestation, an infectious and ferocious hivemind, could defeat them. Compared to the Orokin's firepower I would imagine the Reapers' "firepower" is on a level most Sentients have already faced and overcome as well.

An though we don't exactly know what Sentients are yet, they certainly do not appear to be 100% biological and are likely made up of a similar structure as a Warframe, technocyte or some other type of bio-mechanical junk. So the Indoctrination may not even have an effect on them.
