Advances in high temperature superconductors have made ITER obsolete before it will be finished. They won't ever be able to produce electricity, whereas the current generation of fusion reactor designs have a decent shot at it. Though it would be politically difficult, it likely would be pragmatic to scrap the current design and start over.
