your "well get something that regens health" option in lieu of mantis is directly comparable to scimitar AS: get something that has knockdown or large aoe, or learn to dodge properly. parkour 2.0 makes it easier than ever.

in reality liset is one of the most universally useful, especially if you like to complete missions quickly. destroyed some glass on a ship? ignored that mook at a control panel locking down the room? pop AS and keep going.

meanwhile mantis is really only good for defense like that anon said, and scimitar is a poor alternative to a weapon with blast or any other kind of aoe knockdown, and does piss poor damage at the same time. for example of good knockdown weapons, any shotgun with multishot, punchthrough, and blast, ignis with blast, any explosive weapon (tonkor, ogris, penta), simulor with blast, etc.
