If you want human control, those humans could just tag along in a cheap transport plane and linger at a safe distance close enough for low latency.

I think that would make sense for some missions like air superiority but not others like a deep strike into enemy territory. For the former we already have AWACs that perform nearly that role while also being big flying radars. For the later I think something like the F-35 might actually be the best solution, though with a number of robotic subordinates.
