I use Drogue Chute.
Aggressively engage ANYONE with anti-balloon weapons, and Drogue gives you a longer window of throwing caution overboard as you float down instead of dropping like a rock.
I also use Impact Bumpers on a Junker sometimes.
Usually, yes, you want to be dodging the ram. But sometimes, NOT dodging can be beneficial, and sometimes, dodging then reversing thrust and counter-ramming with your bumpers on can throw an enemy's aim off because they've turned off their course-stabilising piloting tool after realising they didn't hit, and knocking them off-arc can be an unexpected approach. Simply ramming a ship back when they try to ram you catches most players off-guard when you're a Junker (why? Because you're a Junker! Junkers don't ram things!).
It isn't 100% guaranteed to work, but it does give you an edge simply because your enemy won't be expecting it.

I think Junkers don't ram things, because it will leave them with only 1 front gun and a damaged balloon.

And because they're slow + lightweight - the rams don't do much damage either.
Indreams:
I don't usually pilot a Junker, but I've seen a few Junkers tap my ship to escape, although I think this usually means a dead balloon for them.

Junkers simply don't benefit from them because a good Junker pilot DODGES any incoming rams. A Pyramidion coming in for a ram should be every Junker pilot's best-case scenario. Just kick on a little Kerosene and Phoenix claw and you're suddenly on the side of the Pyra with your kill guns ready to go.

Thats the thing, if you get rammed constantly, thats when i advise impact bumpers just to shield your baloon.
But good junker pilots shouldnt have to worry.
