For pressure fuzes, yes.

No, they become more dangerous to sweep--more likely
to blow up some poor sapper.  AT mines are a breeze to
clear manually--if there are no AHDs on them.

Probably all would be better.  A PLS-style system on
the back carrying a couple drones is almost ideal, as
your actual breacher is completely unmanned and hence
expendable.
