Again, why would his aura not be even distributed if he has a specialized organ made precisely to distribute aura through his body? If his aura isn't evenly distributed through his body, then he couldn't move it in the first place. Aura is effectively his blood, and it's the reason why EMP's are even effective against him since they fry the circuits his aura can flow through. Gren's power source is suppose to be able to allow him to distribute aura throughout his body evenly, both for the purpose of making it function as well as protecting him. The idea that it's not active all the time or unevenly distributed means that he's either turned off, or a part of his body isn't working i.e. is broken.

Plus a clean power source, even an electric one, would require even more advanced tech then simply being powered by aura, which we can at least assume doesn't have any sort of byproduct. Sure he does need biofuel for his thrusters and his extra electronic bits like his built in phone and camera uses electricity, but those could be safely disabled/their power source removed without affecting Gren's ability to function. At worse he looses mobility, communication, and perhaps the ability to make his helmet cover his face at will. Otherwise we'll end up back to that discussion with the fusion core since apparently he's now running off some sort of engine or fuel that is small enough to fit inside his body but has a power output strong enough to power him indefinitely, especially considering the sort of feats of strength and endurance he preforms.

And of course this goes back to his Semblance, which I will concede has to start from where he's "Touching" and since "he" is now just a few organs inside a robot body, the effectiveness of his semblance is already diluted since now his semblance has to jump from his organs, through his body, then into the ground around Gren/whatever he happens to be touching at the moment. Where he a regular person his semblance's range would be much further, but due to his cybernetic body his semblance's area of effect is restricted to a very close range to himself, without the ability to shape it for increased range or avoiding friendly-fire. Additionally, while Gren can channel his semblance around him a short range or into something he's touching, he cannot do both at the same time: If he's using his semblance to maintain a grip on his foe, he can't also use his semblance to increase the amount of friction others exert on the ground around him, and thus root them to the spot. Additionally if you are aware of Gren's semblance, you can exploit it's selective targeting by maintaining some level of elevation, such as using your weapon to vault yourself through his semblance's area of effect or simply attacking him on top of other objects.

A lot of Gren's power comes from the idea that you're facing him conventionally i.e. you're on the same ground as him and you're trying to bash him in the face. While Gren isn't immune to such attacks, his defenses are made with the idea that his opponents are fighting him like that, in a straight up mano-a-mano confrontation. Exploiting his weaknesses (Which Gren tries not to make well known for obvious reasons), or doing the smart thing and simply not engaging Gren in a melee would be the better ways to take him on, and of course doing every other dirty trick you can to deal with bigger, more physically imposing opponents.

That's not to say that sneak attacks won't work against him and he wouldn't die if someone shot a high caliber bullet into the back of his head when he's not looking, but like decapitation and getting riddled with bullets, such attacks are a weakness everyone is susceptible to. With or without aura, I'd imagine.
