This is purely a guess on my part but I think that the way Yang was hauling around that speaker unit in Burning the Candle strongly suggests to me that aura can be used to give a short-term strength boost; I mean, that thing probably weighed as much as Yang herself!

Combined with Pyrrha's exposition to Jaune in The Emerald Forest, Pt.2 suggests to me that one of the primary combat applicatoins to Aura (besides the shield) is that it provides boosts to all attributes (perception, agility and strength). There is probably a balance to how long you can use this without running down your shield strength but Ren seems to show that it is possible to use it at a low intensity for long periods.
