Not when it is in atmosphere, as it has to use get amounts of power to overcome gravity. and the design is suited for space, not atmosphere. and Soveriegns shields did take a thrashing, but it was not invicible. the fact that the shields dropped so suddenly indicates it took a lot of power to withstand that thrashing and control saren, it only looked invicible because it never gave away how close it was to running out of energy completely till the end. And something about kinetic barriers is, while they stop fast moving projectilse, a slow moving body can simply pass through, like the maw or its acid. otherwise everytime shepard reaches for a glass of water it would be pushed away. while the shields may be stronger, they are built on the same tech and as a result, the same limitations.
