Not really.
I personally believe this is still about Taiwan.

The US knows that Taiwan would easily get crushed in a 1 on 1 with China.

So they are trying to set it up as China versus Taiwan + Phillipines + Japan + Australia + NATO support if this war should ever happen.
Also trying to make these countries patrol the nearby seas surrounding China regularly under the guise of "freedom of navigation"
Easier said than done. If it was so easy to get into a war, they would have recognized Taiwan already with formal embassies and diplomatic status.

Kinda depends on the value of the Shahed's ultimate target. If the value of the target is equal to $100K, then it's breaking even.
The value is not just in the target. it is also to make the missile launch to know about missile characteristics and they may put the area under observation to see the logistic trail.

On related important G20 news, Japanese Finance Minister is ditching an appearance at this summit opting instead to attend the unveiling of the 2023 budget in Japan. He'll be sending a deputy on his behalf and this recent development is not sitting well with India at all.

So much for quad partnerships, snubbing India the host country..
