Everybody thinks "we don't need laws, we let the smart contracts handle it" until their smart contract is exploited and their funds "robbed."

Have any of the smart contract exploits actually been litigated in court, even if unsuccessfully?

I don't think "everybody thinks" that. Smart contracts just give you an alternative set of risks which might be more useful in certain circumstances. They are also not immune to having legal consequences either.
