One major issue with giving Spearmen Shields to bring in and still being logically is what Tjav just said. Mount and Blade Warband does not work the greatest. One of the things very visible with that is how horrible spears are with shields. Especially overhand stabs. I have a edited Native game into which i put the NI weapons, some of the coding carried over and one of the things that did is overhand stabs. In Native that does not work at all. And I mean at all. They do NO damage what so ever.
About the X-bows getting close the RG shield skill. Crossbow Men have been the line closest to Infantry all along in Mount and Blade. Of all the Archer in single player, the X-Bowmen are the ones who have the best melee. The Rhodok Sharpshooters beati the Nord, Vaegir, and Khergit Archers in melee by quite a bit.
The reason that I think that is, is to make up for their slow reload speed. Making it more Viable to use them over Archers.
