The down side to that is if you miss something like a incoming missile you have no time to react not to mention no time really to counter either. If you take Sheffield's incident as an example her radars were off before the attack to make a communications call to London, she basically didn't see the missile coming and even if she had and been able to power up the radars it would have been all over anyway she simply wouldn't have been able to counter it. Yes subsonic missiles still have a role but if your up against a switched on crew, with a decent AAW platform it simply wont get through, China today has a decent AAW platform(s) the crew is another matter. There was a trial on HMS Diamond fairly recently (2018) the crew were practicing against drones, now yes they were switched on but the drones were fired over 100nm away, Diamonds crew could see the target all the way in then just fired at it. The control room was quite active but looking at the AWO checking his watch wondering how long be before its in range of the Aster missiles is quite something. Point is this would have been a completely different scenario had it been hypersonic. They have a role yes but against a decent platform with a decent crew its unlikely they would get through.
