Yeap. A lot of energy to get them up there to the needed orbital velocity, then a lot of energy to get them on course (orbital maneuvering is extremely expensive from a fuel consumption standpoint), then there is the energy required to de-orbit them towards their target. Then there is the time factor for all of this setup; hours at a minimum, if not days to deliver a ballistic rod onto a target. Given current intelligence capabilities, the enemy would see something like that coming far in advance.

Orbital simulators like Orbiter 2024 can offer a glimpse at the complexities involved. The de-orbit is the easy part, but the rest would be a bear.

Hypersonics, at the end of the day, are cheaper to produce and quicker to deploy.
