Yes I think it's still a 50 years away technology. SPARC looks promising with its magnet technology and small size (so I assume less tritium).
The target Q factor is 2 but it could be as high as 10 which is atleast approaching a real net gain. We probably need a much larger q factor to make it a viable power source though. Wind, solar and other renewables have become really cheap.
