That isn't correct. I have successfully used ship boarding several times.

I have temporal weapons equiped with the temporal shield depleter a meson cannon and a shield disrupter large mount(can't regenerate if the generators are gone) on a light cruiser all other space with shields or armor.

Doesn't matter if the enemy ship has SDD or shields or shields with shield regenerators it still goes after it takes out the shields and board and with a SDD on enemy ship ussually dies.

I have effectively used this strategy mid-late game. Mass produce lots of cheap LCs to self destruct against battleships, dreadnoughts and baseships all equipped with SDDs.

Oh I also altered the default capture enemy ships strategy.

Primary - Capture Enemy Ships
Secondary - Point Blank (Default is optimal, which may cause the retreat in standard strategy, never used the default myself so can't say if that causes retreat)

Firing - Nearest, Strongest, Fastest, Has Weapons

All break formation.

PS: This has worked in both strategic and auto tactical.
