I believe the eventual verdict is that Black doesn't get quite enough and it doesn't seem to feature in more recent years. I only ever played it once during its fashionable period over ten years ago. My opponent had prepared for it because of its then popularity and we reproduced for a handful of moves, the game Adams v Carlsen from the 2007 World Cup.
