If you go full passive tank, you don't have any propulsion, utility or damage mods. This is called overtanking, meaning your ship tanks well but is quite bad at anything else.  
If you fill all of your low and middle slots with a passive tank, you don't have any propulsion, utility, or damage mods. This is typically less than an ideal setup. There is often a sweet spot between tank and gank/usability. The trick is to decide an amount of dps to tank and reach it with the fewest possible mods, dedicating the remaining slots to damage, speed, and/or utility.

It's also very important to remember that PvE tanking is against specific damage types, so there's no use to try to omnitank unless you're facing sleepers.
