I dont think the declocking of an SBH would have to do with the requirement of power for the laserrifle. There are also normal nod officers using it. If I'm correct the stealth concept works because of the bending of light. Probably by firing a gun you would distort this field masifly. Making you look like a big neon sign. Still what if you use a silenced pistol with muzzle supresion or a knife?

(As Carrier said for Ren its obviously the game balance)

It is indeed true that a real life variant of it uses reflection of light to "hide" objects. Although that the real life version needs a round ring of so called meta materials. Even then it is only able to reflect infrared light.
Also it doesn't really hide the object, it just makes the light (and with light also your sight) go around the object instead of against it. To do this the device needs to be circular, which happens to be a not really convenient shape for people or vehicles. While the current method does not require power, it is still far from effective. Even if it would reflect all visible light from all/most angles it would be very fragile, and very visible on radar.
