In my opinion, the screen mesh is a little small. It's not that I think that it would affect airflow, but I'm not sure how much good it will do protecting the IC. It might be useful as a bug screen, but I'd have to imagine that it is a bear to clean.
I would think it is more effective to use a larger gauge wire screen (probably 1/4 inch openings) to guard against rocks and debris that might actually break through the smaller screen and damage the IC/radiator.
