The fission startups out there (most notably TerraPower) do all of their work in silico, and that's representative of fission reactor design in general. Fission reactors aren't prototyped, they're simulated exhaustively, approved, and then built.
You're right, though, that securing the materials for a fusion prototype is less legally fraught.
