I really don't like such a PR demo. Such a concentration of equipment is very vulnerable to cluster bombing.

Agree with most of content of your post. Except one:
AHEAD is extreamly expensive munition. It's not cheap at all. Thus, it's ROI is very bad also.
P90 is sitting duck, even PLA abandoned it decades ago.

The chief drawback to the HQ-17 is its high cost, which averages $26 million per unit
You can take a look at my previous post before making such kind of bold statement.

Most of the PR video looks either odd or staged.

Not according to the Army Recognition website It is more efficient meaning you can do with fewer rounds than a conventional shell. Maybe the P 90 model is a bit outdated but I am sure the next iteration will be updated using most of the technology of P 90 like this Rheinmetall Sky next AHEAD system
Each round of Rheinmetall's 35mm x 228 Oerlikon Ahead airburst ammunition contains a lethal payload of heavy metal spin-stabilized subprojectiles, unleashed in the path of an oncoming target at a programmable, predefined point in time. A short burst of Ahead ammunition produces a dense cloud of lethal subprojectiles. These penetrate the outer skin of the target, causing catastrophic damage to its interior.
Ahead airburst ammunition can bring down targets at greater distances with fewer rounds fired, making it a much more cost-effective solution than conventional ammunition. The technology can be used in ammunition ranging in caliber from 30mm to 76mm. Ahead technology is suitable for ground, air force and naval applications. As an alternative option, Ahead rounds can also be fired in non-fused mode, in which they behave like frangible rounds upon impact and are able to penetrate and destroy hard targets very effectively. In effect, Ahead is actually two types of ammunition in one.

"wrong thread?"
not, it shows the strength of PLA drone defence, ‘攻守兼备’ is adhering to the principle of having both offense and defense, meaning that the strength of attack and defense is balanced and equal.
"Such a concentration of equipment is very vulnerable to cluster bombing."
whether you like or not, it is just a staged training, not tactic performance exhibition.
"The chief drawback to the HQ-17 is its high cost, which averages $26 million per unit"
No one knows its exact cost，
As far as I know, the price of one HQ17 missile is about several hundred thousand yuan, less than 100,000 US dollars, not that expensive, it is produced in China.
'Expensive' is a product characteristic, while 'affordable' is a consumer characteristic. If you can't afford it, you can't blame the product for being too expensive, you can only blame yourself for not having money or ability.
There are many types of HQ missiles and other high, medium, and low range missiles in China, but it seems that you only know HQ17. It's your problem, not PLA's problem.
and, Modern warfare is a systemic war, not a competition of individual weapons.

Without a doubt, a missile equipped with an electromagnetic pulse ( EMP ) warhead can definitely destroy a large group of drones. many Chinese missile warheads are EMP warhead.
"The principle of action of electromagnetic pulse weapons is to use high-energy electromagnetic pulses generated by the launching device to destroy the target equipment. The characteristics of this pulse are high frequency, broadband, and high peak power. According to different application requirements, electromagnetic pulse weapons can be divided into two categories: high-energy electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) weapons and high-power microwave (HPM) weapons. The former is mainly used for large-scale electromagnetic pulse attacks, while the latter is mainly used for precise strikes on electronic devices
The power of this weapon mainly lies in its ability to destroy electronic systems. When a powerful electromagnetic pulse passes through the circuit of a device, it can instantly destroy or damage the electronic components of the target device, making it unable to function properly
The commercial multi rotor unmanned aerial vehicle killer developed by China has arrived, which is the high-power microwave weapon. According to the journal "Strong Laser and Particle Beam" cited by the South China Morning Post, a Chinese team has developed a high-power microwave weapon driven by four small Stirling engines. The high-frequency electromagnetic waves emitted by it can not only suppress drones, but also fighter jets, bombers, and satellites, to the point of being so powerful that they have no friends."
China has singed and issued an Export Consent for one kind of such weapon. you may see such weapon in the next month Shenzhen Air&weapon show.
