Well, maybe having the gold knockdown shield should make the owner consider the right approach. Become a sniper, keep some distance from your teammates, join fights early, when there are more teams and the area has many hideouts (such as cascades, wetlands, swamps). The shield is not good just for reviving, it also takes a lot of damage, forcing the enemies to reload and retreat if they go out of ammo, or persuading them to do finishers, increasing the chance to have them ambushed by your teammates or a third party.
It would be useful to let your teammates know if you pick it up, "Whooa, I have the self revive shield, I'm invincible!".

Make sure you remember you have that legendary shield to avoid alerting the enemy you're about to revive yourself. Otherwise, the moment you show off that shield they immediately zone in on you like.....

Yep, however you're almost guaranteed to get shot at while downed as it stands, forcing you to block shots, and this doesn't serve you well as it will only aggravate your problem.
This is the issue with the shield, it's unique ability causes a response that denies use.
I literally don't take them anymore, in months of playing, I have successfully self revived only once, and this was because a sniper downed me and close to rock to hide behind.
It's rare for me to get a self revive done. I play a disproportionately large amount and I've had 2 self-revives that have yielded any kind of result in the last week. One produced a win that I'm likely to remember for the rest of the time I play Apex, the other gave us a couple of great fights that we couldn't have had otherwise.
My entire squad was knocked and we went on to win the game - That's OP by any measure. It should be the hardest thing to pull off in the game to get a self revive off if your team is knocked. To my mind it probably is the hardest thing to do.
