A helicopter being stationary enough for people to fast rope out of it is also vulnerable. I don't see why they couldn't still have the helicopter providing fire support while they approach with the jetpacks.

Sure night vision goggles are ubiquitous at this point, but it is still going to be a smaller/stealthier approach compared to a helicopter. Also boardings can be done safely in far more situations, much further out to sea. You can carry a few of these on pretty much any patrol boat, a helicopter needs a take off/landing site and has an operating distance.
