Fusion scientist here. Hydrogen-boron is 500x harder than deuterium-tritium to ignite, roughly speaking. NIF couldn't even do that. I don't believe that these two groups have hit on the solution. Yes, it would be nice to have aneutronic fusion, but right now we're struggling to get deuterium-tritium to work. One step at a time.
