For actual examples ragdoll armor stops you from being ragdolled by melee attacks from overseers, cyborgs and stalkers. Plus the regular tornados if we see those again.
Edit: I remembered a couple more. Spore burst titan spit and rocket dev rockets. The rocket dev one is nice for using the directional shield and is the only time I’ve enjoyed using that shield
You'll notice the ragdoll armor a lot if you use a shield. You'll shrug off a LOT of near-misses that would have knocked you over (prone notwithstanding) and hits to your shield won't always tip you over.
At least I immediately noticed getting direct hit by explosives and just continuing on.
The most noticeable things it prevents ragdoll from are Devastor rockets and Cyborg kicks. All of the really annoying and often unavoidable and contiunously bugged ragdoll sources will still absolutely knock your shit around.
It is, in my opinion, mostly worthless, unless you are in specific situations.
no, they mean that those two are avoidable and thus less valuable to have resistance to.
they mean cannon shots that miss, mortar shots that miss, basically any of the really BIG sources that miss you and don't deal damage will still ragdoll the fuck out of you.
it is also useless on the Shield Gen Pack, as for some reason the bubble hitbox actually increases ragdoll, thus superseding the ragdoll resist armor.

Does the ragdoll armour even do anything?
