A comment by bsdz links a research paper and says that a computer model for cardiotoxicity has higher accuracy than animal models. The paper title mentions in silico as well.
Are those the same things you're talking about or is there something I'm missing. I'm not that familiar with drug development.

The paper linked by bsdz checks for one specific cardiac side effect, it is not anywhere close to being a model for cardiotoxicity as a whole, a very important distinction.

Ok, that makes sense.
Is there a meta analysis of such models?
So sure, we use modeling, and it's getting better, but it's not going to replace toxicology studies any time soon, unless every other human system is replicated in silico first.
