Haven't we already confirmed ignition and just entered the "how do we sustain this at scale?" phase of the development?

Not that I know of. You can obviously just neglect most energy costs when considering "ignition" and the proclaim you've achieved ignition. These may legitimately be significant advances but it doesn't mean we're ready to start thinking about actually sustaining fusion energy at scale.
