I agree with all of your points, except for one.
I think that swarms SHOULD be ineffective against hardened shields. After all, they are specialized anti-armor weapons; they are not meant to be general purpose (like the plasma cannon or forge gun) or even anti-shield specialized. This is why we need racial parity for AV.
Without full racial parity, people are crying why their anti-armor specialized weapon is ineffective against shield and want to make it into a weapon that's both specialized against armor and can hurt shield. That just doesn't make sense. You skilled into a weapon that's specialized for beating armor. Yes you didn't have much of a choice, but that's why you have to cry for full racial parity, not making your weapon a general purpose AV weapon with increased armor effectiveness.

True, much like the large missile turrets being very ineffective against shields. But still, I saw no reason that a shield should be invincible to anything!
Invincible, no, but it should take more than one swarm user to deter a shield tanked vehicle.
The swarm launcher should give up effectiveness against shield and gain effectiveness against armor. But again, we need full racial parity and give laser-based AV that people can use to take out shield tanked vehicles.
Edit: or CCP can give us ammo types following EVE's ammo system. Then swarm users can load EMP missiles for shield damage and change to explosive missiles for armor damage.
