Besides other great replies, two problems that come to my layman mind are:

1: Having ai wargame it out ala deepzero would require modelling war accurately, which is a nigh impossible challenge in the first place.

2: Using past battles as data for generating tactics is useless as each successive generation of tech redefine the battlefield.

Protein-based war planning is based on rough models of how the battle of say defending motor rifle company vs a tank regiment goes, so nothing new here.

A more fundamental challenge is about hunches the generals have about what they don't know due to always incomplete intelligence data.

Studying logistics since at least the world war 2 can be useful as the means of warfare have not changed significantly since then.
