Close in dogfighting isn't a very big part of modern air combat, the real use for crazy manoeuvrers is avoiding missiles and those are already not burdened by keeping a human operator alive.
There is some scope for a manoeuvrers competition between the larger fighter class UAVs and current gen missiles, but the purpose built and smaller machine will always win the agility fight eventually so it doesn't seem like a very fruitful contest to enter from the perspective of the fighter manufacturer.
