Precisely why you should adopt it.

If it happens to be a neat 180 from your playstyle, then it happens to also be the perfect complement your playstyle: Combine an attrition assault with hit-and-run disruption, and you'll roll through your opponent. If you want to fight a province-by-province war, Vanheim is perhaps not the nation for you: pure frontal assault is not what Vanheim excels at.

Is there a spell that simply stops bows from firing? Or anything that comes close?

Arrow Fend will render enemy archery completely ineffective against you. The Staff of Storms should cripple any attempt at missile fire and flying by anyone other than the Storm Guards. Storm is similar, but only reduces shooting accuracy. Perpetual Storm will kill flying AND shooting, but will also remove your sailing ability.

And Vanheim is missing cavalry? Those Vans sure look like they're on horses to me. They're pretty impressively mean cavalry, too, if you have a mean bless effect to back them up. At $70, "cheap" is not quite the word I'd use to describe them, though. However, they ARE sacred, so upkeep is significantly reduced.
