The following is a partial answer - I say this as even by 2021, it seems it is not mature enough to have been scaled up to that projected size - yet. The first paper below is looking at scaling up.
So far, with specificity to "space debris control systems in development which use CDA", I would say not yet..

This paper, citing research carried out, at JPL, CalTech, under contract with NASA looked at up scaling that resulted in having to design for load-bearing designs whilst using the grippers:
Previously, controllable gecko-inspired
adhesive grippers provide strong adhesive stress with little
attachment and detachment effort, making them suitable
for use on solar panels and the sides of spacecraft, fuel
tanks, and other similarly smooth objects. Such materials
and grippers have also been tested for thousands of loading
cycles, in a simulated space environment,
and with robotic arm teleoperation.
and then carried out these tests, combined with prior experiments: in a
zero-g aircraft, on a large air-bearing floor, and inside the ISS mock up.
. Future work includes implementing a 10-unit gripper on a robotic arm
for fully autonomous surface grasping and manipulation.
Curved surface grasping and scaling will also be explored.
Electrostatic adhesion can also be added to the current
grippers to enhance adhesion on rougher surfaces.

A small test did get in to space:

The robotic gripper was tested aboard the ISS for uses such as collecting junk and repairing satellites.

The gripper traveled up to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2019. Finally, this April (2021), it was put to the test.
The astronauts unpacked the gripper and placed it on one of the station’s free-flying Astrobee robots, named “Honey,” to evaluate how the gecko gripper functions in microgravity.
NASA astronauts Kate Rubins and Victor Glover took two rounds to test the gripper on April 9 and April 15.
NASA plans to have the robot onboard the ISS to perform tasks, like retrieving items or taking inventory.
this breakthrough is just the first step in a three-phase strategy to demonstrate the value of gecko-inspired adhesives, with the ultimate objective of cleaning up space junk.
