Aside from MBTs, what about drones and top-attack ATGMs? Interests in those weapons seem to be have peaked in the last year, with talk about how they could prove to be a greater threat against MBTs as compared to an enemy MBT.

The Leopard 2SG is not well equipped against those, but it can be modified. In a better world, they would have bought APS for every tank, and some maneuverable drone jamming equipment. But the logic that it's best to wait until an enemy has sufficient capability in those aspects beforehand, prevails. And it's an economical one.
Try to preempt everything and you wind up spending more resources than others who do a little more catching up, for the same effect.
Ministry of Defence, Singapore (MINDEF) - MINDEF has awarded a contract to acquire ST Engineering’s Terrex S5 as the next-generation TITAN Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). The TITAN is designed with new digitalised systems, advanced vehicle electronics, and a Command and Control (C2) architecture to support networked motorised operations. In addition to enhanced protection and mobility, it has stronger firepower and is equipped with a 30mm cannon mounted on a Remote Controlled Weapon Station (RCWS). MINDEF will work with Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) and industry partners to integrate these capabilities into the TITAN IFV, which is scheduled to begin delivery in 2028.
