It's hard to imagine what it would even mean to get experimental evidence against the Landauer limit. You'd have to throw out basic thermodynamics. (It would about the same as getting experimental evidence for a perpetual motion machine; possible, but basically requiring a revolution in fundamental physics.) The disputes over the Landauer limit were conceptual and definitional disputes, not disagreements over well-formed predictions.

Although the number of experiments is large enough to recover the k_b T ln(2) expected value.
