No, it's just having an answer to things breaks a lot of tension. This is supposed to be the big bad, slaughtering innocents and some of that horrific experience is removed when the building has drop away walls. But other stuff mentioned can add to that tension. Your mention of multiple guards pouring out, loads of experimental weaponry to pack heavy hits... But have that best laid contingency being ruined by an unexpected Meta Power like Patel. Scary.
