Interesting to note the article is from 2021, and says Javelins haven't been tested against modern tanks. I guess now they have been, but maybe hard to say how effective because of fog of war.
Here's a YouTube video I recently stumbled over that expresses skepticism about their effectiveness in the current UKR/RU conflict.

Since I have no knowledge of the topic, so I can't tell if he's credible or a crank. Anyone care to weigh in?
