I think this war shows how useful they are in urban combat, not a place where ballistic missile speeds and range are relevant. Small warhead would be a feature in close combat.

In modern wars, Russians solve the urban problem by converting urban landscape to rural (aka groznyfication). See Grozny, Aleppo, Mariupol.

And ballistic missiles are not for the task -- too funky and expensive, they are used to strike fuel/amunition storages. For urban warfare they use howitzers, mortars and 500/1000/2000kg air bombs.
