I would say very likely, but I do not know if it has the ability to do so after penetrating the skirt armor.

Of course the skirts don't cover 100% of the tracks either.

Very true, I would say you have a decent chance if it is stopped, and if it is moving a poor chance of hitting the tracks.

My favorite AT weapon is either a concealed anti tank ditch,
or if I don't actually have the time to dig such a ditch than an IED in a place the tank must drive over. (The bottom of a tank is relatively unarmored).
Even if I don't actually penetrate the tank's armor, a mobility kill (breaking the tracks) will probably be good enough for other forces waiting in standby to disable or capture the tank.

FYI the Army is bringing back the Carl Gustav across the board

".S. Special Operations units, who need portable, lightweight firepower, have been toting the M3 Carl Gustav since 1989. Some regular infantry units in Afghanistan have carried the Carl Gustav since at least 2011, but they had to request and show a need for the weapon to get it. Now, Infantry Brigade Combat Teams in the U.S. Army and National Guard will receive these weapons at a rate of 27 per brigade, or one per platoon of 40 soldiers. "

I agree - it was long overdue - its a lot cheaper to use, still very effective and if you want to bust a bunker its a lot better to use it than something designed to kill a tank
