Are these expected to be in any theatre at all in the near future? Any fighters like that seem at least a decade or two in the future, if not three.

Su-57 numbers might be too small to matter, but again do you want to count on that? The F-35 isn't equipped to fight against a peer adversary, so you're essentially relying on the geopolitical situation to continue to be that there isn't one.
