Well now I really want to see the projected SPARC reactor on that plot. Does anyone have the necessary familiarity to add it?

Author of that article and plot here. SPARC is projected to have energy gain Q >=2 and potentially up to 11[1]. ITER is projected to achieve Q of >=10[2] so I would guess that SPARC's expected triple product would be in the same ballpark as the projected ITER datapoint, perhaps slightly lower, though potentially the same. We'll see!
