9 times out of 10 this is unfeasible. Armor gives disadvantage because it's cumbersome and makes noise on its own. It also takes time to get out of.

Most situations requiring you to stealth aren't going to have time for you to get out of your armor, pack it up quietly, and then start heading out. Even if they do, you've got to worry about what's up ahead. If there are any enemies then you've now removed your main defense and made it easier for them to kill you.

That goes double for heavy armors like plate which takes upwards of twenty minutes to remove depending on the system you're using.
