All large batteries are just smaller batteries wired in series for more voltage and parallel for more capacity. Both these numbers are reasonable and comparable to most battery tech.

According to Yasuhiro Harada, principal researcher at the Nanomaterials Research Laboratory at Toshiba Research and Development Center, “To implement this technology for automotive use, 50 Ah or 100 Ah is needed, and we need to increase the capacity to achieve this goal. “

This sounds like it's still not comparable to existing Li-ion.

The article is to short to draw conclusions from. For example their concern could be with temperature or with charging speed when linking many modules together.
