Is it viable to have a single "Tank" absorbing all the shots?

I was just theory-crafting about pushing Shinobi defensive perks to their extreme on untimed missions, particularly Swarming supply raids:
Can I have a single Shinobi going around aggroing pods, and then hunkering down to keep the pod in the same place while a squad of Snipers (4-5, one of them holo-target spec) shoot down the pods from squad-sight?
There would be two specialists to take turns using Aid-Protocol on the Shinobi, and I would also use smoke grenades to keep it nigh-untouchable. The snipers would take out rocketeers/grenadiers and other enemies that use explosives first.
All up that makes a squad of eight. How effective would this be in clearing out Supply Raids with minimal risk? What modifications would you use to make it work/work better? Would this be viable on legendary?
edit: and perhaps to account for wounds, the "tank" Shinobi can use Smart Macrophages as a PCS after-mission, and the Specialists can bring some medkits during the mission.
