IIRC, the W82 program got killed because they couldn't get it to work properly.
Nuclear artillery was always of dubious use; by the time the nuclear release protocols would be completed, the situation would have changed so drastically one way or another (either making a nuclear strike unnecessary, or the situation becoming so unsalvageable that a nuke would be worthless).

Besides, SADARM, the CBU-97, and the AGM-154B do almost as much damage.
