Yes it is, for sure. I told a nurse at a sleep study that that was my dose. She mentioned she took half a 100mg pill once and stayed up for over 24 hours straight. For me it was barely enough to stay awake through a normal day. It took those 4 years and more to find enough of the root causes to not need to be on it anymore.
I think modafinal is great for a lot of people. But I made the choice to only write up the very best (in terms of expected outcomes) stuff. Given that many substances have risks or legal issues it was much simpler for me to just not mention a lot of stuff. I do not intend any implicit claim that other things aren’t useful. But I didn’t make a list of ‘stuff I’ve investigated and found less good on average’ vs ‘stuff I have not investigated’.

No mention of modafinil? It’s quite useful for maintaining productivity on low amounts of sleep.
I was prescribed modafinil for sleep issues for 4 years, 200mg/day. It definitely promoted wakefulness, but also made me more irritable.
200 mg/day is a pretty high dose (at least for me)

The most common reason I’ve seen for “modafinil isn’t great for me” is trying to use it for something other than
maintaining productivity,
on low amounts of sleep
Testosterone will land you in more legal trouble than modafinil.
