The LARPER had mail underneath the plate. More I do not know/remember.
The plate you saw in the museum with the dent, might have been a test shot. In Europe it was common to deliver plate armor to customers after they got a dent by a test shot.
Armor got kind of less relevant when people recognized that you can have an unarmored group of riflemen out maneuver old school guys in heavy armor. And unfortunately the people with the guns upgraded to artillery
I expect that 30 years from now, we'll find all sorts of expensive systems becoming less important versus just massive numbers of drones. definitely.
Just look at the 3D voxel art they do with drones that have some lights, or the drones flying directly into the barrel of an enemy tank. Does not need to destroy the tank or kill the crew. Gun gone, tank useless.
