My read is that it works mostly for battle shrapnel and space mining accidents and does nothing for kinetic weapons, hit or miss for micrometeoroids.
Shed was killed by a railgun round. These are kinetic projectiles, spall lining doesn't do anything against those.
If it somehow could then aiming for the reactor would spin the ship so hard you’d pulp some of the crew.
