You cannot collect health orbs on full health, which means you cannot get stacks on full health either. So yes, you would be correct in your assumption.

However, you care incorrect about shields aiding stack longevity. Armor only applies to health, though you will lose a stack after taking any damage regardless. So having more shields is actually counterproductive.
