As long as the fusion reactor can recover reasonably cheaply and quickly, then using inherently unreliable AI to improve the odds is fine.
Neural networks used for control can be made more reliable by imposing constraints on the solution, as well. There's been some work on neural network-based drone control that uses Lipschitz regularization to keep the drones from crashing, like Neural Lander.
