There is also a time-domain problem with regards to total integrated dose. All the parts will degrade over time. Radiation hardened parts can have lives of 15 years or more in a GEO environment. A commercial part might be lucky to make it 1 year. Radiation shielding is not as easy as you may think. Heavy ions in space can pass through anything and will impart a charge in whatever they hit as well as creating secondary sources of radiation. Neutrons are not as common in space but can be found near reactors, they are also very penetrating.
