Key word being "could". Whether that additional armour would be a deciding factor against someone like BB Hime (arguably the only one that would warrant such equipment) is not something I've seen discussed about in past events. Understandably, not a lot of people had that equip at that time. What I have seen are players praying to RNGoddess that their ships not get hit at all. Will the drop in evasion for armour be helpful? I think the next event can help sort that thing out now that it's buildable and people can test it.

Personally, the only threats I faced during the event were one-shot attacks (looking at you BB Hime), spongey mooks (looking at you again BB Hime), and shitty RNG compass. When you get silly setups like Spring's E5, you ditch defense, pray for evasion, and load all the offensive equipment that you can to take down the flagship. I lost count the number of times when Wake survived with a sliver of HP at the end of the battle. An experience that a lot of teitokus can probably sympathize with. Honestly, I don't think it will be popular choice since you'll likely be balancing offensive power, artillery spotting, and LoS requirements.
