Some damage bypasses ES, even with CI, while having Darkness from Acolyte of Chayula

Darkness from the Acolyte of Chayula's Embrace the Darkness allows for some large hits to bypass energy shield when fully depleting darkness.

Going Chaos Inoculation with darkness is basically too risky in HC, regardless of how much ES you have. Or if playing hybrid, you're Health is effectly halved against hard-hitting bosses.

I've only tested this thoroughly on silverfist, so it could be an issue with his slam, but I suspect its any hit that can fully deplete darkness in 1 hit.

Without CI, I have survived the slam, while ES remains, but life was removed.

However, Most sources of damage that deplete my darkness do go indeed go into ES first as intended. So I'm not 100% sure on the conditions required for it to ignore ES.
