I think given recent progress from several companies and research institutes, we might be seeing an increasing shift to solving engineering challenges indeed. Fusion has definitely moved beyond the proof of concept stage. It's no longer just a theoretical possibility.
Many challenges still remain of course. But it might be a lot closer than the 20-30 years that people have historically assumed it would take. It seems there are a couple of companies shooting for working power plants a lot sooner than that that are getting a lot of funding. Maybe even this decade. From there to commercialization might still take a lot of time of course.
