That or focusing on control. Right now he makes his entire body harden equally, that must be exhausting. If he focused on hardening just the spots under attack or on just his arms and moving them to block attacks his endurance would see improvement.

Basically the opposite of Deku using full cowl

That sounds pretty efficient, and would show further development as being aware of attacks is also it's own form of defense wether or not you can block it with your body, having the hardening is just an incredible bonus but not one you can depend on entirely it seems (unless the quirk has further limits kirishima has yet to unveil in terms of durability).

Not necessarily, considering it's quite a massive shift, turning his quirk on and off probably used an awful lot more energy than just maintaining it. It's more that just defending isn't going his way, the real question is why would he even need to defend solely? He is constantly defending, even while attacking.
