That is a great idea! And probably much easier to implement.

Not being able to see through doors and walls could very well be seen as a first person perspective restriction, so they are arguably already thinking about that. The restrictions are not accurate, but some of them are already there, so adding one more when wearing a full helmet wouldn't feel...

Well, they are already controlling how far you see when it comes to open and closed doors, and whether they have a hole in them or not. Maybe they could narrow your field of view, like a cone of sight, or make everything 2 meters behind you dark or out of focus.

I think wearing a full helmet should reduce vision and hearing somewhat. And open helmets that still cover the ears should reduce sound only. It would both be realistic and give you a small reason to not equip one, especially if you are sneaking around and listening for enemies.
