No, I don't think explicit nudity is a good way at portraying that kind of vulnerability, and can even detract from it. Implicit nudity on the other hand does a much better job at expressing that kind of vulnerability and intimacy and whatever else a scene requiring nudity needs to have the most impact.
For example, let's look at say the post-sex ME3 Liara scene(just without the underwear on Shepard) and the post-sex DAI Cassandra scene. Both are having a character involved express their vulnerability, despite the former being implicit by looking at their backs and the latter explicit by looking at their fronts. Both scenes capture that feeling well, showing that explicitness isn't required to have the full impact.
Why, specifically, are you against seeing nudity? It clearly provokes a reaction in you. I've only played ME3 once, so I honestly can't recall the scene you mention. I will look it up again, however.
The point of nudity is to emphasize how exposed the characters are - to supplement the fact that they are exposing themselves emotionally with the fact that they are exposed physically and to convey the same reaction in the viewer, who (obviously with certain normative cultural assumptions) can relate to feeling vulnerable while naked in front of someone, even a partner. By taking away the exposure, you undercut the scene.
To say that the two are equivalent, you have to be of the view that being naked in front of others isn't something that actually makes you vulnerable. The idea that wearing your underwear versus not, for example, is not really materially different. And you see this in all of the examples being put forward.
As I've said throughout: there is a degree of subjectivity here. But if you accept the basic premise, then this is a valid artistic choice.
