To answer your question of what happens when head shots don't count, is that heads become the best shield in the game, since it can't be shattered, and head blocking as a technique becomes more common in the game. Also, people can become even more upset when they DO get hit in the face on accident, particularly if it happens frequently. In either case, it benefits players' attitudes and the game as a whole to accept that head shots happen. You're in a contact sport within the game and intentionally or not, chances are high that you'll take a shot to the face eventually. Let it roll off your shoulder, improve your defense, and game on. 👍

FYI, the ideal size for a shield is 35-45% of your height. Depending on if you prefer to fight shield foot forward or sword foot forward and whether your shield is a punch shield or a strap shield. Punch shields and sword foot forward favor shields closer to 35% of your height, while strap shields and shield foot forward favor closer to 45% of your height. This is basically a question of your defensive style, whether active or passive. In any case, it's a good idea to ensure that the shield covers your shield shoulder and shield hip at the same time. Curved shields, such as what the Freeborn use, can be slightly smaller as the angle of attack required to bypass the shield increases.
