I had a Cav escort for Lee once, and when the Cav was destroyed, Lee was killed. Happened again when he had a Balloon. Thankfully, was playing AI. Learned my lesson after that. Just leave Army commanders alone to "float".
I...dunno 'bout this. Maybe you're, uh, doing something, uh, not right.
I have never had an Army Leader scratched. I don't use my Army stacks as battering rams, but I do have them around `300 Pwr or so; usually some Arty, some Cav, maybe a lightish Div. I almost always have other leaders in the Army stack, to be clear.
No trubs, bub. They co-ordinate and support the Corps, the way I use them. Heck, take Grant or Lee, or some of the other really good ones - their Army Radius is quite large. I've had Grant in Cairo for months at a stretch, a year, directing operations down to Corinth and beyond.
I just wouldn't let Army Leaders wander the landscape without any brackets - they might get integrated improperly.

(A) When in doubt, agree with Ace.
(B) Pull my reins up sharply when needed, for I am a spirited thoroughbred and forget to turn at the post sometimes.
