They have quite a lot of leeway, yes, but I've never seen a CIRAS and I don't think they'd use one either.
They are not a combat unit per se. Yes, they do get into the fight when needed, but don't forget their objective is to extract the injured... they want to go fast, and a CIRAS (or RAV, or MTV, or any of the big plate carriers) does restrict movement and adds lots of weight.
I'm not a PJ specialist, but from what I remember, plate carriers I've seen include the LBT6094 and DBK FAPC. I'd have to dig a bit to find others, but it gives you an idea... these are (relatively) low-profile carriers, at least when compared to a CIRAS.
