Confinement approaches aren't inherently neutronic or aneutronic. What matters is the temperature, desnity, and confinement time (lawson criterion). Get it sufficiently high then DT becomes a breeze. Get it a factor of 500 higher and pB11 is on the table.

No one serious talks about aneutronic fusion because we need to walk 1 mph before we sprint at 500 mph. We'll seriously discuss aneutronic fusion in 200 years when it's relevant.
