I think the quality of AI necessary really depends on how you structure the force, and what you're fighting. It's not like they'd be out there doing Top Gun style dogfights. They'd most likely take the role of high-altitude bombing and launching missiles from over the horizon, guided by AWACS.

In other roles partial remote-control is more viable, and less intelligence needed, on the other hand the benefits maybe not so great - maybe cost primarily, once it is figured out? I'd guess a bomber could operate in slightly more dangerous situations and wouldn't need a full crew being trained and paid, but you'd loose flexibility and the crew is likely not a big impact weight/aerodynamics wise.
