Not at all. lmao
FNP + RP 
Lets be civil here, FNP we all know is meant to save the model, where as RP is meant to save you points by bringing models back.
It would fit the fluff nicely  Zombies don't feel pain, and keep getting back up..

Unhealthy Competition With Other Legions

Nah, they don’t need no damn RP, zombies are already annoying enough as it is. Just give them a pistol for emperor’s sake. Having a bunch of corpses stumbling about all game long is not fun GW

Without this, I almost lost a game once. It was scary. I almost took to buying fixed dice to ensure it never happened again.

The OP is thinking a little too literally about the rules in regards to the zombies and a little less about the actual game.

Only if you won't let me play Space Marines as the fluff dictates.

Don't consider FNP as not feeling the shot. Consider it them getting blasted to apparent death, but staggering back to their feet in a way no living person could. FNP -is- exactly like res protocall, only it doesn't stop working if the entire squad dies.

This.
Because one, maybe two Marines could defeat a horde of zombies in the fluff.

No where close to the fluff. Although with one small change it would be.

Plot Armour: Whenever a Space Marine is about to die, if it is not doing something ridiculously heroic he ignores all wounds and carries on until a suitable end is found.

How about they get no FNP/RP and not even a save, but can only be wounded on a precision to wound roll of 6 to represent them needing to be shot in the head?

Just....no
Look up "Movie Marines" That'd give you a decent rules interpretation of the fluff behind a marine, minus the extra silly rules

Two heaps of no from me.
How about they use exactly the same rules as current but we make them all T10 to represent the fact that they are hard to kill?
Or we could just use them the way they are.
As for Marines... Plot Armor is totally too weak. Give 'em a 2+ invuln too.
After all, one captain can take down a Daemon Prince, right?
Amiright?
