If it really worked like you wanted it to it would have easily incinerated most living beings in the area. Ships using that type of weaponry are likely using at the very least low kiloton level weapons. The thing is due to the way it works it only harms whatever it actually hits. Like I said before Sovereign's weapons work the same as the others just on a larger scale. It tears through whatever it actually hits but what it doesn't hit it leaves it unharmed so that Reaper's Thanix cannon won't be able to actually hurt shepard unless it hit him directly or glances him. There is a reason why that Thresher Maw was staying away from the weapon it even forced the Reaper's gun down to the ground.
If it didn't it would have been sliced in half.
I suppose at the very least it would be consistent with the Collector ship's main weapon at the beginning of ME2. It's very effective at slicing through the parts of the Normandy that it hits, but does no damage to Shepard himself, who is standing just a few meters away.
Edit: Hmm, it also occurs to me that we've never seen a Sovereign-type Reaper's main weapon in action. You know, the spinal-mounted mass accelerator? Actually, scratch that. I don't think I want to see that in action....
