IMHO, it’s important for the defenses to be as cheap or cheaper than the incoming drone/missile. In other words, for some types of enemy drones, it may be best to go back to a flak style defense.

How about a big tin building? Drones are light and have zero penetration ability.

That means going back to nuclear deterrence. Sure you can take out our base, cheaply. Go ahead. My nuke is a whole lot cheaper than your Capital city.
