The claim becomes conveniently tautological when you equate "at scale" with "tracers getting overwhelmed". GP might argue that all successful tracing never reached scale. That would make it a completely worthless claim, but, well "truth" (big sarcasm quotes).

It completely broke down in Victoria, Australia when daily case numbers got into the hundreds, so a full lockdown was imposed.

It’s working fine again now that case numbers are negligible.
