In Poland, this solution has been working for almost 30 years. This improvised self-propelled anti-aircraft system (called "Hibneryt"), designed to combat low-flying and ground targets. Therefore, the old saying that the makeshift is the most durable ... Partially, because while the first version of Hibneryt was a classic improvised solution - an off-road truck with an anti-aircraft gun mounted on the load box, the next - the second - an attempt to create a "guntruck" for a fairly universal purpose ( fighting aerial and ground targets) with an armored cabin and makeshift armor of the load box, the latest incarnation of the "improvised" anti aircraft set. is already a full-fledged "guntruck" (in the pictures below). 'Normal' trucks with a load box get into the armor. The new design has contoured side armor of the box, with upper and lower sides inclined at an angle, an armored cabin, and a V-shaped bottom, which helps dissipate the energy of possible explosions under the vehicle.
The development of this "improvised" construction continues ...

Right, low expenses and maximum utility. I just thought for some reason that your units mostly abandoned using zushkas or their variants.

Have these been pulled from storage or BMPs and other Soviet vehicles are still soldering on in 1st line units?

BMP, T-72, MiG-29 and other equipment constructed in the Soviet Union is still used in many 1-line units because very often there is nothing to replace it with. We are finishing constructing our own IFV ("Borsuk" - "Badger" in English - project), because wheeled IFV "Rosomak" cannot replace all BMPs.
