Coloradoan here, my experience is that this law is pretty loosely enforced and many job postings don't comply, even for local, in-person positions (although it's getting better).
Most "anywhere in the US" job postings don't list a salary range for CO candidates, and I doubt the people posting them are even aware of this law.
My experience is there are roughly three categories of jobs:
1) "Anywhere in the US (or global)" jobs. Very unlikely they'll list a salary range, probably because the person posting a job has no idea about the Colorado law.
2) Companies not HQed in Colorado, but with a Colorado presence (e.g. a company with its HQ in NYC has an office in Boulder). It's maybe 50/50 whether or not they'll list a salary range, especially if the job can be filled in one of many offices in multiple states.
3) Colorado-only companies. Maybe 75%-90% of them will post a salary. Definitely not 100%, but it's better than it was a year ago.
As far as I know there's also no penalty for a company going paying someone outside of the posted salary range, and they also don't have to include any non-salary compensation (e.g. RSUs).
I wouldn't consider this law a major detriment to living here. I have yet to see one actual example of someone being harmed by it.
