I think you should only be able to do it for commanders, or only certain units should have it such as space marines to represent their loyalty to each other. I mean, an conspript would not just allow himself to take the bullet of an officer that probalby flogs him. Plus how would you have time tot react? A bullet travels at a unthinkable speed and how could someone dodge it or jump in front of it.
And tanks die really easily and the allies are bonkers! Tau can go with almost anyone!! I mean, what are the chances of Necrons allying with anybody they want to exterminate the entire galaxy!
Yeah I think some of the ally match ups are a bit odd, and you have a point about the look out sir rule - on a normal character it only works on a 4+ though which imo isn't broken, but the 2+ look out sir for HQ characters is perhaps a bit ott. Tanks do die easier but I think that's a good thing, it still takes a bit of effort usually to kill one and I thought 5th edition was a bit too tank heavy. Just my personal preference though.
