In general I agree that Fielded Kelarium is fairly useless, I would use it before I would use Neutronium, unless the design has more shields then armor already, but that's unlikely.
Without RS, and against missiles your effective DP for Neutronium is 137.5. Fielded Kelarium is 162.5 (shield+armor(limit to shield)+remaining armor/2). Although misses will damage shields somewhat, so it's probably about even.
Against torps, Neutronium is slightly better, and againt beams, the DP is higher for Neutronium, but for Kelarium you get some shield stacking.
With RS Kelarium is better in all cases.
There are only two places I'll stick armor that heavy, on bases and on missile BBs that can't gate anyway. And even in those cases it's questionable.
