The americans tested the aim-9x against ground targets as well, the IRIS-T has also been used in an air to ground role.
But these are currently testing.
I doubt they will be emplyed as such.
The LaGS will because the aim-9L is an old missile and outdated.

BTW, if missiles nowadays equiped with composite guide head, as you said so.

This looks like it would be incredibly fun and multi-purpose weapon. I would for sure try using this against planes.

I am wonder if Luftwaffe had ever tested Brimstone on their tornados. There is some information inducates german Tornados have ability to arm with, the passed Suggestion https://forum.warthunder.com/t/panavia-tornado-ids-sle-forever-young/49170 gave a possibility.
