Yes, but you lose your ability to protect your team (which is like 90% of what you should be doing on shen, he's less of an initiating tank imo) when you die in 3 seconds to one champion. If you can kill the tank without wasting hardly any time, there's no reason not to. It means avoiding a lot of CC and a much easier time killing the rest of his team afterwards. If you were up against my team and me, for instance, I would have VERY little reason to actually use my ult on you. The rest of my team probably has CC and can easily hold you in place. Hell, I'll probably have Rylai's and hold you in my range easily with just the miasma+rylai's slow, and all my cooldowns other than my ult are short enough that it won't matter that I used them. That's not the point though. The point is that you should honestly be surviving longer than you will without any magic resist, so there's no excuse not to get any.
