Are there any disadvantages to using your companions for transporting Power Armor - Modern woman using station for charging electromobile

After I read that companions don't drain the fusion core of a Power Armor when wearing it, I decided to try giving my armor to Nick so I'll always have it close by if I need it.

But I was wondering if there are any other drawbacks to that. For example, does the Armor get damaged or destroyed when the companion is under fire?

Answer 2

I got Cait to get into some power armour of mine. We got attacked by some super mutants, one was a suicider, and her power armour legs were completely destroyed.

I knew that I can still repair them, but I got back to the power armour station and the legs were no longer equipped. I lost legs to the armor that day, so I just reverted to last save.
