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!
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.
