There's some precedent for this - the Contact Explosions rule on B415, HIGH-TECH's extrudable and foam explosives, cutting cord and detcord (all p.187).

I don't see how a stuck-on, explosive limpet mine can
avoid being a contact explosion for maximum damage.
HEAT needs a stand off distance for best performance of the narrow penetrating jet. In all other directions, it does much less damage at a distance than in contact.
