Armor divisors and wounding modifiers are designed to fine tune a weapon's specific performances against armor and flesh, so it seems like madness to mix the two up in any circumstance.

I agree with retuning the max wounding for body hits, but this I vehemently disagree with.

Penetration factors apply to all kinds of things. Steel, kevlar, leather, sandbags, stone, glass, force fields...the things that resist them are specially hardened armors. Not meat. There's no reason for meat to be especially good at stopping armor-piercing bullets.
