To be honest, I get a lot of 1.0 hits against Argos (Young to Adult) in Adj Pixie. It is pretty cheap to repair though.
Yes but the difference is that if you aren't plated, you don't pay for extra protection with 1 dmg hits (from both plates and armor). The only risk for unusually high cost with 1 dmg hits on unplated armor is if the total armor protection (and thus the minimum decay per hit) is large compared to the mob, but that's not going to happen in this case.
Example: A 10 damage hit with armor protecting 8 and plate protecting 8. Each absorbs 8 damage and decays accordingly, so you pay for 16 damage absorbed but only need 9 absorbed.
Again, with protection levels so low, it's not a big deal, and the settler+5b is actually a pretty okay setup here, but in general you either split as evenly as possible between plate and armor, and make sure you don't take 1 dmg hits for most of the damage range, or you just wear armor without plates.
