As I DM I already tend to have monsters switch targets when they learn that an individual is buffed in such a way that their attacks aren't as effective. I suppose what you could do is instead of just making it ludicrously difficult to attack you, you could buff with a wide variety of different kinds of defenses so you don't have any weaknesses. So it's hard to hit you with attacks and you can reliably make saves and you resist a range of damage types. With enough spell slots among the party you might be able to do that to the entire party. That's strong, but also a significant investment of resources into defense in an edition where it is already quite difficult to die. I'm not super worried about low combats per day as I avoid that as a DM. Most combat in my games takes place in long dungeons where resource management is key.</blockquote>
