The laser uses mirrors to develop that power, right? Would those have the same heat resistance as a shield designed to reflect a full charge? You're certainly right in principle
... But it's hard to imagine such an obvious countermeasure would be ignored in a multibillion dollar development.
Additionally, just like regular armor, such reflectors only protect what they cover. Radar masts, large swathes of hull, airplanes, and so on would still seem to be vulnerable.
