Given that you're not going to be using a shield, throwing a harmony somewhere in your equipment could be a good thing. Now, given the following restrictions: No shields, no large mammals and no big defense armours, I'd say you will be really living on the edge if you go Zen (not that "normal" Zens are any different, heh).
You're going to need about 290 hit points to make sure two simultaneous hits from the toughest hell/hell monsters don't kill you, after that it's just a pot-guzzling contest.
In nightmare/hell, however, you could have a lot of fun with a Zen even with your restrictions. In hell/hell I'd say go for a single harmony if you find it useful and leave the Zen for a less restricted character ;)
