There are many ways that Iranians could circumvent defences, particular if the other angles of attack are, as stated, so undefended. Additionally, most air defence systems don't pick up drones. There are just as many articles discussing the inherent failure of the current anti air systems in dealing with drones and cruise missiles:

I'm not saying it was Iran. However, I certainly don't think that it was physically impossible for them to have made the attack either. The ongoing Houti conflict offers the perfect scape goat to take blame for the attack, which reminds the Saudis that Iran is still a major regional power.
At the end of that day does it matter if Iran attacked Saudi Arabia directly or equipped a proxy army to make the attack?
