of course it does. nodes are the link between two systems, all systems have a star, stars have craploads of gravity, therefore subspace is nothing more than a super-parallel universe that is a concentrated version of the one it resides next to, or should i say... resides IN.
subspace's extreme energy output makes en-shields all but untouchable but leaves them active non-the-less. however because it IS concentrated space all objects move much faster than the speed of light, while still "obeying" Einstein's Theory of Relativity, making life supportable without oxygen, or whatever gas is required for that organism but the subject will still feel as if he IS breathing
moreover the star inside of fusion based fighters and all of the above create a small gravity force and this IS NOT turned into energy so if it is ruptured the explosion is 5fold (depending on the amount of gravitational strength) this however proves undoubtedly dangerous as the gravity inside of gravity will start to cancel each other out.
but hope its not lost. when the corridor collapses EVERYTHING inside of subspace will be squeezed out at high velocity.
if at the center... well you will simply be stuck in subspace until you warp out but those chances are slim to non unless you phucking calculated it
this knowledge is not known by anyone at those "research" facilities cause they got no creative MYND
Intersystem travel is very different than intrasystem travel. Intrasystem is subspace travel within a system which requires a gravity well provided from something very likely...a star. Intersystem travel is very different in that it is travel between two systems, with the unique aspect of not requiring a gravity well to use.
The fact that there's a node in every gtva system does not imply the deduction that a gravity well is required for a node. It just means that every system the gtva has been to has a node otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get there in the first place. I'm pretty sure there's tons of nodes in empty space. But, those don't matter since no shivan, ancient, terran, or zod ship will ever be in empty space except for one circumstance.
The other thing to notice is that gamma draconis is a system with no stellar bodies whatsoever (as following the in game description). It is actual empty space with two nodes (and also the only time you'll catch any fs ships in empty space).
Who really knows what happens when a node collapses, but what you said could very well happen at all. Not many people around here theorize about what happens inside the node when it collapses.

There's no explainable reason why shields aren't usable in subspace. This canon detail about subspace usage created by V sounds nothing more than a quick convenience for trying to come up with some way for the player to be able to destroy the lucifer. My reasoning for why the lucifer shielding wouldn't be active in subspace is because it takes a lot of energy for huge ships to be able to perform and intersystem jump and maintain that jump (pretty much the lucifer goes into sleep mode dedicating a certain allocated amount of energy for intersystem travel while a good deal of everything else doesn't need to be in use unless in unprotected normal space (such as shielding)). But, no V doesn't explain the reason at all.
As far as ships travelling faster than light in fs. They do travel faster than light, but they don't travel faster than light in normal space. They only move faster than light in subspace. Very much like star trek subspace usage. The theory of relativity obviously doesn't apply as much within subspace if it even applies in subspace. Even still, subspace travel in fs is really nothing more than traversing worm holes.
As far as the very random life supportable without oxygen. I don't know where that came from really. All forms of life are going to be different, especially alien life that we've never seen before. Species that don't breathe could very well be in real life somewhere in the galaxy. And species that don't breathe such as the shivans is a certainty in the fs universe. Also how could you feel like your breathing when you can't breathe? Why would feel like your breathing when you can't breathe matter anyway.
