The biggest problem with fusion reactors, both real and conceptual, is that you need a lot of energy to start them up in the first place (fun fact: H-bombs use a regular fission bomb to fuel their reaction).

The biggest benefit in the context of subnautica likely is that you can derive hydrogen isotopes appropriate for usage in a fusion reactor from regular seawater.

The reactor currently in-game is likely intended to be a fission reactor, since it takes Uranium as fuel.
