The stat upgrade from the shield isn't that large in that's what your going to argue, shields souley effect the effectiveness of block they don't add any base line defense, the allagan shield also drops from Turn 1 I believe so you could end up 'wasting' 300 myth fairly early in your Coil career.

Though TBH ALL the myth purchases outside of the Ring/Weapon are just whims, you can clear to Turn 5 in DL without much trouble so any Myth gear just 'help's but in no way bars you from not being able to complete the turns.
