Great analysis, as usual. I’m wondering if we will be sending dangerous gas stoves along with the JDAMs to finally “turn the tide.”

If the HIMARS has been largely defeated by Russia AD, then these projectiles will fare far worse. The volume of them will be limited for all the reasons noted. It is not a stupid idea if you want to use these as an artillery substitute since 155 MM shells are gone, but the volume of these and the lack of explosive footprint will make them pretty ineffective for the ones that get through AD. Its way too little, way too late. The West did not understand Russia's capabilities economically and militarily and were not prepared for this war. They are stupid, arrogant and ignorant. Dangerous too, mostly to their own people.
