Viking Conquest Balance Mod: Dane Axe vs Shield?

The VC Balance mod increases the damage of both axes and of javelins. The troll axe is now the Dane Axe, and does a huge amount of damage.

Has anyone run a player or NPC build with the Dane Axe? The main issue I see is that it is a 2 handed only weapon that disallows the use of shields. However, the Balance mod also increases javelin damage so much that 2 throwing spear hits will take out pretty much any NPC despite heavy armor. Since almost everybody has javelins or throwing spears, with this javelin/throwing spear buff, I don't understand how a person without a shield can survive the VC Balance mod.

Is it worth it to ditch the shield and be basically a glass cannon with the Dane Axe?
