That would actually seem like a good way to handle them. If we fight the Reapers too often, they'll stop being scary. Better to encounter them infrequently, and make them particularly nasty, just like with the main plot missions in ME2. (I know the Collector ship mission scared the pants off of me the first time I played it!)
