Yes the initial penetration capabilities are impressive, particularly since they were able to penetrate Luke's skin, but given the punishment his epidermis has withstood and their performance against other surfaces and objects, that is probably the most impressive feat this type of ammunition has accomplished.

If they could punch through Cage's skin, shouldn't they have been able to overpenetrate targets such as that poor test subject from Ukraine, the podium from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and many of the other things that got shot instead of Luke?

Yes the originals were undetectable to metal detectors, "untraceable", and destroyed a fair bit of evidence, but the lack of traditional evidence, distinct damage, and use of Chitauri xeno-materials from the Battle of New York, which are probably still being actively studied, will ultimately mean that the corpse of a Judas victim will scream "I was shot with a Judas bullet!"

Considering that .50 BMG rounds that includes armor piercing, explosive, and incendiary components already exist in the form of the Raufoss MK 211 rounds, unless you need to shoot Luke Cage, there are cheaper "super" bullets.
