Visual odometry and visual SLAM is absolutely mature enough for drone state estimation and control. It’s not off-the-shelf technology quite yet, but a skilled adversary could concoct something I’m sure. I imagine drone attacks today are likely going to be FPV, and then jamming of the video feed is possible again.

And it's solving a somewhat harder problem - it's done with no maps apart from what it's generating in real time.
