If you already have one it's definitely better than throwing rocks. Everyone should own a rimfire of some sort IMO
Otherwise, get yourself a comped 9mm PCC with a red dot or a laser and feed it JHPs

I have an M&P 15-22 set up sort of the same. Leopold 1.5-4 scope with a green dot plus a TRL-1 and three 25 round mags loaded with CCI's. It's more for 4 legged varmints that go bump in the night. Of course I also have a Glock and a Joe Biden shotgun.
I have a takedown PCC with a red dot, and a bunch of mags that also fits in one of those copper basin covert packs for grab and go. I can literally dump 1/3rd a box of 9mms out of that thing in around 10 seconds. If that was all I had for HD, I'd probably be ok, considering the total payload-over-time calculus. It's no AR, but it's also one of the last rifles I'd sell.

My last homicide call-out was a legit self-defense case where an untrained shooter fired a 10/22 from the hip against a very bad dude with a knife. The first round was a single center-mass hit, with shooter asking “Are you done?” and knife guy responding with “You shot me, you pussy!” before advancing again. Second round was the same, and when knife guy advanced for a third time, shooter went cyclic and emptied the mag, scoring somewhere around 15 hits and dropping knife guy DRT.
Cost is a huge factor for a lot of folks. Most people don't do the "I'm A Dangerous Person" cosplay and prefer to spend their time and money on other things they find more important in their lives. With the actual lethality of a 22 rifle stoked with good ammo kept in mind it actually makes good sense. When you got people that have a lot of background in the training industry like Claude Werner and Chuck Haggard recommending a 22 rifle for home defense then the concept doesn't seem quite so far fetched.
I can send a lot of hate with my 10/22. It's accurate and reliable when I use good ammo. It's every bit as lethal as a PCC, maybe even more so given the velocity and penetrations boosts the better quality ammo gets versus a 9mm out of a carbine length barrel.

So now we're to the point it's actually the superior option vs a PCC? Everyone who was rocking an MP5 back in the day would have been better served with a rimfire? C'mon.
Like I said, it'll probably work. Most home invasion suspects aren't terribly dedicated and a starter pistol would probably rule the day. However that's not the same as "every bit as lethal".
I can't even say that about 5.56 or 7.62 shootings. Hell, we had a guy who was a bit on the "husky" side shot through the hand with a 7.62. When he got to the hospital he had 3 more through-and-through wounds to his belly (side to side, not front to back). He was so preoccupied with the new hole in his hand he didn't even notice the wounds to his belly. (Side note, my partner and I mentioned how his great amount of belly fat acted like organic body armor, but after some thought figured a thinner person would probably not have been hit). He was not "stopped" by four rounds of 7.62, although he was unable to effectively fight back as his attacker was in a vehicle.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

But BBI is spot on regardless of anecdotal experiences (no matter who shares them). And you don’t need a giggle switch on a PCC in 9/40/45/10. There’s no way I’d ever reach for a .22 anything over a PCC in a modern service caliber. The ballistic science doesn’t lie. Statistics however can.
