Yes. Fusion is not short game and should not be treated as one. Not funded like it either.
It will be very useful when we get to space, for example, unless we figure out something better.
Much fewer problems with it than with nuclear up there. (Especially with getting fuel.)

Why would it be useful when we get to space? When we get to space, we'll be 1 AU from the Sun. At that distance, solar is vastly superior to fusion. And DT fusion will always be inferior to fission in space.
