Yes, most of the ToB bosses have THAC0s so ridiculously low that AC is practically irrelevant (unless you whack 'em a few times with Soul Reaver, of course). But that's in ToB, and ShadowChild is still in SoA, and very early SoA at that. And that's only the Boss enemies--your run-of-the-mill bad guy will still be stopped cold by your Full Plate, except for the occasional Kensai or Archer (and the few folks who use Critical Strike on you).

Slings aren't the only ranged weapons that can be used with Shields--Darts and Throwing Axes/Daggers/Hammers are also all one-handed.
