This was my first thought. Including a cockpit and systems to keep a human comfortable and alive and safe are honestly a waste of space. If anything it should be a drone with ground control options as a backup in the event of a problem. That would be safer than having a pilot there in case of a problem anyway.

You can't always have guaranteed communication with any aircraft, bandwidth limitations, weather, jamming, and just signal strength limitations.
One of the issues with some strikes historically has been the limited data sent back fir decision making.
Result- a lot of collateral damage, as people in the ground make quick decisions with grainy videos and limited supporting data, which leads to lots of collateral and civilian deaths.
