Depends on your definition of large scale, but there are several animist religions still practiced today in indo, mainly contained in one specific island/specific ethnic, the one I remember atm:
- Sunda wiwitan, Baduy people
- Aluk animist, Torajan people
- Several folk religions in Papua, NTT, Nias islands, etc.
The problem for us was that after the anti-communist purge in 1970s, many people in indogs had to forcibly fit their local animist religion into one of 5 accepted major religions by the govt (Islam, Catholic, Protestan, Hindu, Buddism), or else they would be declared as communist and shot dead.
That's how Abangan religion got forced into Islamic framework (IIRC millions of Abangan dead in the process), also that's how many indigenous animist religions in Maluku islands got extinct (it was a shame because there's a very cool cosmic origin story from that place).
On another note, that's also why/how many Javanese in Central/East Java converted to Catholicism.
