Sure, it doesn't kill them. But it sure as fuck contributes to their certain death as soon as an opponent spots them. You claim that Shinn isn't willing to accept the consequences of his actions. Well, is Kira?
Heine's death was a Darwin award at best he was paying no attention to what was going on and was killed outside of Kira's influence heck Stellar wasn't even aiming for him he just kind of floated into the way.

I think that Minerva is unlikely to have more replacement impulse parts but that could be very wrong of all the parts shinn used in this battle none of them are repairable. I do expect to see Impulse back up and running at a later point but disabling Impulse so that it would be unable to follow or attack AA was all that Kira was attempting to accomplish.
