Not anymore, now they only allow for 10 times the HP per individual block.
A block behaves at maximum like it has 1000% HP, 900% are borrowed from nearby blocks.
Ofc if your ship is made out of 10 equal blocks the benefits will be the same as before, but ships made out of hundreds or thousends of tiny surface parts feel the change. ;)
But for most it's no big deal, cause this just means the integrity field fails to protect some of the low HP surface level parts in case of collisions.
