How close are we to full body ballistic armor? I would imagine it would make breach and enter essentially risk free.

could make it
weight will make you want to shoot yourself rather than spend a couple hours in it
Not until we figure out how to keep the user from having a heat stroke from wearing it while not hampering their movement and vision.
Literally why would you not when entering a house?
In other words, we need a reliable powered exoskeleton first. Or some kind of a breakthrough in lightweight, preferably breathable ballistic material
Major hurdles are weight and cooling.
Both would be less of an issue with a powered exoskeleton and some thermoelectric cooling system.
Both of which are perfectly possible with today's tech, the only hurdle is the absurd costs involved

Front steps
You forgot about a viable power-source.
I think it would still beat the cost of having elite soldiers who you've invested millions of dollars in training to be injured in a breaching situation and having to pay their healthcare for decades down the line. It's economic in the long run.
