So perhaps the Halo might be the best solution, if paired with the right helmet construction. In effect the driver is wearing the canopy already.

IMHO, I would say... No. The driver is not wearing a canopy.
Large objects like tires? (solution... add Halo), small objects like springs, or rocks that may hit the helmet? (solution... ?stronger visor? Note: Make sure it doesn't make Vettel dizzy!), objects that get past halo but don't impact the helmet like suspension components (solution... ?upper body armor?)
Keep building up those piecemeal solutions that continue to have obvious gaps vs. looking for comprehensive solutions.
