Have you seen the stress test of siege in the Beta yesterday? No, you can't survive the climb. Yes it is a moment of voulnerability even with the freehand shield shown in the video, because without it, if you try to hold your shield upwards, an archer just standing at the end of the ladders can shoot you straight in the head. THAT'S why we need freehand shields. Low arrow damage? I don't think i can agree, depending on the class, it can be as low as 2-3 arrows for a kill.With the current low arrow damage you could probably survive the climb while taking hits anyways.
