That is the big point there. It pretends to be further in progress, than it really is. There are some necessary improvements to overcome the past problems, but these solutions can cause new issues in flight.
Still, it is not THAT far away from orbit. At SECO, it was roughly 200 km PeR short the last time, and 150 km after engine relight. Thats only ~60 m/s short from first cosmic velocity on SECO and 40 m/s short after engine relight.
