The cost of each unit would make obtaining the necessary density of them prohibitive. Plus, you'd reach a point where your base apparently exists only to maintain and service these units, and can't get much else done. I agree with the notion that with an enemy capable of putting up a string of fighter-bombers, no CIWS for a ground unit is worthwhile. A better goal would be units dedicated to destroying those fighter-bombers... light, compact, effective unit-level SAMs/MANPADS/ or even modern AAA.
One use I can see for them is for protection from harassing fire from mortars and rockets. But at a certain point, with enough incoming ordnance, you could saturate any such system, on sea or land.

In service since January btw. Planned to be backed up with a SHORAD missile with twice the range in the future.
