Whether that is worth it or not, I don't know. I did not quote your comment about Tech Level, but I think we can say that about most Advantages technology can well replicate.

Just protecting one arm might be useful in combination with the Iron Arm spell. If your spell succeeds, you block the attack without being harmed at all. But if your spell fails, it says that the enemy attack now hits you in the arm. If this one arm is now heavily armored, it doesn't matter any more whether your defense roll is successful or not.
