My ideas for dealing with this centered around improved anti-missile defenses possibly including layers of anti-missile drones. Fiddling with armor values is probably only nibbling around the edges.

It looks like it gets better at TL10+ when improved lasers come on line, but you still need boatloads of dedicated AMS lasers to handle it, but my playtesting is limited.
