It really wouldn't be much of an issue assuming the armor and stamina values are not changed

Later on in the game, the passives are a nice bonus, but are in no way mission-critical towards most builds. Like yeah, there is a certain key combo with the Sickle Double Edge and the fire-resistant armor, but in 99% of situations, your strategy and how you respond do the appearance of different enemies will matter much more than what passive your armor has. Hell, I can fairly reliably run Super Helldive with my stock armor and Liberator just fine!
