When I studied electrical engineering back in the 90s, I remember the discussion that we had in the power systems course in third year. The professor jokingly mentioned that fusion always seems to be '5-10 years away'. And that range just keeps moving.
The point being we are still quite a ways off from any sustainable power generation from fusion power. And despite the articles touting the recent experiment, it really is just that: an experiment that happened to reach a particular milestone, which was break even fusion. Not to disparage the achievement. But media pundits often go off on tangents or exaggerate the situation as a means to garner views to their articles. And this has a tendency to happen anytime some fusion milestone occurs.
