 * I will concede there; the scutum is an immense physical obstacle. However, I don't see it being the gamechanger here because, as you yourself said, it's a Tiberius-favored scenario. I'm simply of the state of mind that, in a neutral starting scenario like this, that Ganzorig has more ways that this ends in his favor because of Tiberius' "reliance" on the scutum. Losing it due to a broken shield arm or being chipped away at doesn't necessarily gurantee his loss- but it puts him at an immense disadvantage.
