If you only have 6 momentum to act, you:

• Can't repeat the same action
  
• Lose the rest of your turn to any Resist
  
• Stop Guarding, or at least lower it by 10%
  
• Stop Silent Prayer, or at least make it use half their turn
  
• Stop Shukuchi, or at least make it use half their turn
  
• Stop any skill that costs more than 3 Momentum

1) You say that as if you only have one action worth using.
2) Why haven't you already worked out their resists before they got into smack range? Did they have 30 move?
3) 10% Isn't a massively huge deal. 70 to 63, etc. It helps, but it's not a gamebreaker.
4) Odds are, if you're causing silence and using tome smack, your opponent is an idiot for getting in 1 range as a spell user.
5) If they need to escape you that badly, it would be a turn well spent. I see no issue.
6) It adds a tactical element of "How much do I really want to use that 4-5M skill?"

I'm not saying you have no points. I definitely was a bit fast in saying "at all ever" since not everyone is prepared for everything. But I -AM- saying that you still have WAY too many options with 6M when your opponent is bludgeoning you with a book whose purpose is to reduce your M, versus just casting at you from afar instead.
