IIRC, even a flying armor can't protect you from a plasma riffle one hit kill
Another thing to consider. Critical injuries will affect the soldiers *will*. So depending on how high the soldiers will was to begin with, and how many critical injuries they take, a perfectly normal soldier can bassically be turned into a psycho wreck through repeated injuries.

That probably will add to long term turnover rate of soldiers.

Unfortunately yes. Though the fact that critical injuries have long term negative effects on soldiers suggests that vets won't be entirely invincible, even if they might not be quite as prone to instant death.
