Besides the other problems noted, mirrors and ablative shielding aren't really practical for guided missiles which target aircraft or ships. The missile needs an infrared/optical/radar seeker. So it would be difficult or impossible to find a material which would be electromagnetically transparent for the missile's own seeker but also protect it against incoming laser wavelengths.
