Are inferno missile still viable on the Table Top in the age of Double Heat Sinks and coolant pods?

They murder infantry (especially those in buildings), can cause TACs on vehicles, and can force energy heavy units (Masakari, Supernova, Blacknight) to have to drastically reduce their DPR (damage per round).

You can also use them to create cover if using the fire rules. Or as area denial. Or to displace dug in units from terrain features.

Play some rounds of Megamek vs the AI with fire features on and use a unit like the DV-6M w/ a ton of inferno. Play around with it.

I'll add that they're iffy on killing vehicles with TACs. There's a -2 modifier on the roll IIRC. They can kill protomechs effectivly as well. And I'll bet Abominations will hate them. They ruin the day of TSM mechs, or any other mechs that ride their heat scale.
