Ha! Not seen Schlock before.
I agree that a Phalanx can be swarmed but I'm having problems envisaging drone-on-drone attritional combat involving a capital ship lasting for vey long. If you (capital ship owner) are attacking a peer state it can probably afford to swarm you repeatedly over several days also throwing in plenty of additional standoff missiles, perhaps something ballistic, a sub or two, probably others I haven't thought of.
You'd probably get away with it handling intermittent Houthi attacks in the Red Sea but in a serious war I think the logistics would get you in the end.
