Stars rely on gravitation to confine the plasma instead of magnetic fields, and they can reach the energy densities needed for other fusion reactions, typically D+D, which produces less neutrons. Also, there are hundreds of thousands of kilometers between the center of the sun and its outermost layers - neutrons produced in the core will have plenty of time to be absorbed by something else on their way out.
