The first two questions aren't about the IOs' [Indestructible Object] durability, they're about what will happen to things and/or people in contact with the IO/s when the IO/s are hit.

Even if something withstands an attack without breaking, there can still be remaining kinetic energy that can travel through the object into whatever or whoever is in cotact with, causing soft tissue damage. This is why in addition to things like metal and ceramic, ballistic vests with rigid inserts should have a layer to absorb and disperse the kinetic energy before it hits you. Also, a bomb's shockwave doesn't need to break your skin to kill you.

If the protective effects of the Semblance don't resist heat, then your shield would be too hot to hold even if it withstoodtemperatures that would normally melt it. Similar problems when facing electricity.

I was asking basically everything applicable that popped into my head.
