Some interesting archery demonstrates from Tod's Workshop (https://youtu.be/Avz1O27Dz50 ). I don't know what the draw weight on these bows are, but I'm struck towards the end that at anything but close range, it seems like you'd absolutely have time to raise a shield in response...

That's not the same as punching through with enough force to offend the body behind the shield through armor and padding. Crossing that space is harder, because the arrow is scraping past the shield as it does.

Also keep in mind, Tod's lockdown longbow is at the upper-limit of launch energies for bows, being tested at extremely short range, with shots striking dead-on against targets which absorb all of the energy. It's a best-case for the arrow, worse-case for the armor.

Right. And I think having a reproduction pavise might be useful as well. Still, I imagine I would be cross if an arrow poked me in the arm through my shield.

Cross, but both alive and still capable of fighting since that wound might not be disabling. Which is quite bad for the archer because chances are you are now in close combat with him.
