Yes, that’s true.
“So how are you going to overcome that?”
Body
Firstly, one of the reasons Idris’ body breaks down is due to the fact that House wants it to. He stuffs the Tardis’ matrix into a human body that he’s been keeping for who knows how long. Uncle and Auntie promptly go to die, so the same should be true for Idris’ body.
Secondly, the matrix’s energy is tearing at the body, but the energy we see coming out of Idris is the same energy that was in Rose Tyler and Donna Noble. This is time energy, energy that allows the Tardis to move through time and space. It’s the same energy Eleven uses to heal River Song’s broken wrist.
And Idris is full of that energy, which it’s proven she can manipulate.
So Idris should be completely capable of using that energy to preserve her body.
Idris has a human body, and thusly has all the weaknesses that a human can have.
Abilities
As shown in the series, she’s able to bestow energy upon machines and has a weird knack for foresight/prophecy. She’s probably a bit empathetic, too, due to being a thing that could work psychically as well as mechanically.
Weaknesses/Drawbacks
Again, she’s in a human body. She can be hurt as easily as any other human. However, she can also heal if whatever blow landed doesn’t cause death instantaneously and she can’t block it.
Being the matrix of the Tardis, when she’s out as Idris, the Tardis stops being able to travel through space and time until she goes back.
Going back into the Tardis means she must let her body die, which is painful every time.
Her mind is a computer, with knowledge of past and future, and now it’s been put in a human brain. This will make her a bit absentminded and confused at times, definitely a bit of a scramble in there.
TL;DR
The Tardis kept the body of Idris archived in herself, like so many other rooms and ‘desktops’. If she wants to, she can enter the body and keep using time energy to keep herself from tearing apart (using the energy to reset) like a regeneration would in a Time Lord, sort of. The Tardis won’t fly without her, and she can use all her energy up after a certain amount of time, like a battery. She has to go back into the Tardis’ console to make it really work again and to recharge. Doing that means letting her body die or being killed within, or very close to, the Tardis.
PAY NO MIND TO THE LAZY THING BEHIND THE CURTAIN
