The boarding parties can made ineffective or even harmful, if the enemy ships use self destructing devices. There is no weapon and no ability until now for a weapon, that could destroy selectively the self destructing device. You are right the allegiance subverter is powerful but so are the Borg!
That is true, but borg (or anybody else) have never been able to beam through a ship's shields.
I believe that the AI will avoid making a capture attempt if the other vessel has a self-destruct, so you don't have to worry about the Cubes being blown up during a capture attempt.

Organic armor is very good unless the enemy has crystalline technology with the shard cannon. Therefore I would prefer strong shields, which is also in line with the Borg in Star Trek. And it would make the shield ignoring weapons like null space projector more important.
I don't mean organic armor as in armor, but I'm suggesting you use that ability on every internal component on the borg ship. So even null-space damage will be healed over time
You'd have to bLast through the shields with normal weapons so you can get high-damage hits to internals, and overload the regeneration ability.
