The mounting of a TOW on HMMWV was meant to improve TOW team mobility and to give the US Army a counter to the USSR's use of ultra light ATGM vehicles. It more or less copied and improved the concept of the [[Spandrel]], and the weapon performed to expectation on the occasions that it actually saw combat. Of course that combat was against the USSR's successor states and certain middle eastern nations so how it would have performed in a hot nonnuclear WW3 is up for debate.  But as the ongoing Russo-Ukranian war has been demonstrating, the general idea of widely deployed, portable anti-armor missiles is a sound concept in practice, at least for defense.
