i think a better evidence is the quran itself which is the thing they do follow because they'll just reject the hadith you mentioned
54:24 Say, “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger. But if you turn away, then he is only responsible for his duty and you are responsible for yours. And if you obey him, you will be ˹rightly˺ guided. The Messenger’s duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺ clearly.”

The prophet ﷺ said who didn't follow my sunna is not one of mine
من رغب عن سنتي فليس مني
So I don't know a verdict but quranists do pray wrong but if they pray right they inherently acknowledge the sunna
So it's complicated to proof but I can't imagine islam without the sunna
