Yes, there have been questions raised about the strength of the evidence of human-to-human transmission incl this review that says “despite claims of authors from Argentina and Chile of the existence of human-to-human transmission of ANDV, the balance of the evidence does not support this claim”.

But, my personal take: I think there is plenty of evidence. As virologist Gustavo Palacios told me it’s a question of where the bar is set. “Did I formally prove that this virus transmits from human to human? Well, probably I did not, but I think that based on most of the evidence you can conclude that.”
