It will always be a multi layered systemOk, but if you look at the cost of those missiles its too expensive to knock down a swarm of hundreds of drones.
I saw high-power microwave (HPM) knock down a swarm of drones. Missiles, lasers. and jamming are also somewhat effective, but in a large battle-space you can't protect everything perfectly, so you need some effective means for everything.

High-power microwave ‘force field’ knocks drone swarms from sky - Breaking Defense
Working like an EMP weapon, microwaves change the counter-UAS mission from one-to-one to one-to-many.breakingdefense.com
E.g. Iron Dome, HPM, ECM and barrel weapons like the Shyranger, mobile and fixed.
