If a model did particularly well while almost every other model did badly, it would have gained attention in the community (not to mention, the researchers who worked on it would be actively marketing this!). Even if the researchers who worked on the paper weren't aware of it, it would almost certainly be brought up during peer review. The only way that such a model would not end up on such an extensive list is deliberate omission, not lack of rigor.

It’s possible a covid model will become clinically useful, but it probably requires having enough buy in to run a clinical trial and then for the economics to line up so that using it leads to more money for hospitals somehow
