If it were all that simple would you not expect at least one of China, Taiwan, Iran, Israel, Ukraine, Russia to deploy such a technology? To me this recently popular idea that you can just point a load of cameras at the sky to beat stealth is disproved by the lack of such installations. These are fairly motivated actors.

Russia has a 10x advantage over Ukraine in aviation, yet it only uses it to lob guided bombs from safely beyond the Russian border. The anti-air defense far outmatches the stealth of Russian airplanes.

They are not the stealthiest, sure. But there are reasons to think that NATO planes are not going to fare much better.
