Those extra steps are crucial, as they massively dilute the output and make it weather/daylight and seasonally dependent.

Intermittent renewables produce at least an order of magnitude more waste than nuclear reactors, be they fusion or fission.

How are you defining waste here?

Nuclear reactors can’t adjust production rapidly and require peaker plants. I don’t have to squint to see how this is also solved by grid scale storage.
