Nukes in this day and age seem to me like they should effectively be obsolete. I feel like in the age of satellite observation and the idea of geo-privacy being basically null, every developed country ought to have anti icbm tech, similar to an mrap. Short of mass amounts of dirty bombs, I feel like nuclear war should be a non issue in modern times.

Other than all the logistical issues, there’s also the issue of pure statistics. No system is 100% effective – ever. And anything less than that will leak, and a single leaked nuke is still a lot – so even with a system as you propose, they won’t become a non issue.
