Why would they skip shields? The weapon creates a force just like any other force, and would be inhibited by the energy barriers of the shields.
As I see it, the weapon generates kinetic energy directly at the target point. The energy does not cross the intervening space between the generator and the target point. That, at least, is how I have always envisioned telekinesis as operating. So as I said, a stylistic sort of change, based on how I envision the TK projector working.
The weapon, as a result, will almost definitely need to be adjusted to be more costly, both in terms of research and price to build. But it better fits how I "see" telekinesis working.
