I've personally sunk a handful of warships that way, with the right single missile (Harpoon for small ones, TASM for big ones).
The alternative is to use a combination of sea-skimming and pop-up approaches to divide the CIWS attention and land a hit. More ammo-intensive, but viable sometimes. In general, missile use is situational as torpedoes aren't the best choice 100% of the time.

Ok. Looks like they simplified/dumb down CIWS for gameplay sake as they only modeled the AK-630 gun based system and not the missile system like the SA-N-4/9 and generalized the blind spot as some of the later Soviet warship have no blind spot for their CIWS.
