PLD honestly doesn't need this for most encounters, there is a few fights that are notable where there is a long drawn out downtime, where DRK passively regens mana, and both GNB and WAR have standard timers for their on demand cooldowns, but it's super niche. If there is a super early tankbuster and you're pulling, get NF/TBN/ HoS from your co tank and pop appropriate cooldowns, or use your invuln to get the timer rolling on it.

Also worth noting half the time most people do be sitting on full gauge, not everyone actually uses intervention when OT. So I genuinely can't see how it would really be an effective means to shore up defenses on PLD. Like when I planned out my cooldowns on pld for fights, if there was downtime coming up and needed Sheltron/ Intervention, I would plan ahead to have enough gauge for it, it's part of playing tank in this game, use your head and plan out your cooldowns.

side note: "So you are able to jump into a fight with your primary defensive ready" Sheltron isn't really your primary defensive, that would be Rampart/ Sentinel/ Hallowed and it's up to you to decide which is the most effective one at that time depending on the amount of damage from the tankbuster or what type of tankbuster it is, Sheltron is more of a filler cooldown to add extra mitigation where needed.
