My long run prediction is that ITER will work and everything people on HN kept insisting would work in 5 years will suffer a similar fate.

I'll stake my claim now that I think Helion is probably not going anywhere (just a vibe, but there's something off about their recent big marketing push).

ITER will "work" in the sense of achieving its goals, but that will all ultimately be pointless, as it's a dead end. A device with a volumetric power density 400x lower than a PWR cannot conceivably lead to a competitive energy source.
