There's actually details to that, or should've been, when I make the carbon release page. xD Yes it will weigh her down the further up the shield crawls so it takes a toll on her stamina and speed. This is usually why she doesn't use the "fullbody" shield as well as you'd imagine rearranging your own atoms and molecular structure would have some risks.

Also, fire would melt the carbon as far as I'm concerned, so using it against jutsu just isn't the best idea, it's mainly used for defending against many different types of weapons, even Orochimaru's Kusanagi and her carbon shield would come as a standstill as they're "both" as hard as diamond, but being unable to shield from jutsu, that takes it down a good bit so it's not "all powerful" as well as she cannot use any other jutsu until she puts down her shield, no matter how small of an area it's covering.

If the enemy plans it right, she won't be able to do much by use her carbon claws as her offensive weapon :3
