I think something's lost in translation here.
Doing the multi-track drifting is more effective in something like the Red Sea scenario, where Houthis will not have mid course corrections so the missile is lobbed at an approximate location and the seeker will turn on during terminal maneuvers. If you quickly swing the ship around while the missile is in transit you can potentially get outside of seeker gimbal limits and cause a miss, only having to sacrifice an unsecured F/A-18.
Building a thigh curve into the rail would accomplish nothing, because the ship would be turning while the missile still has the nose cone pointed up and is flying blind.
The real challenge is blasting EW at the missile and pumping chaff. Not maneuvering.
