Against the top spinners ( 360 Little spinner and so on) you would need at least 4mm Hardox or Ti

Provided your armour is well mounted, I don't see a problem with 3mm steel. Yes, some spinner teeth will put holes in it but if you make sure not to mount anything expensive/important right next to the areas most likely to get hit, then most damage will be superficial and repairable.

4mm steel has taken direct hits from 360 and LS4 annd although 360 did put a hole in it it didn't break off because it's a fully welded construction and mounting armour at an angle adds thickness and helps prevent proper engagement.
