Why would, e.g., solar and chemical or physical storage be a stopgap? Why spend 20 years of building a fission reactor these days (other than for research, medical, or defense purposes) which also make awful targets in a conflict? Maybe just wait till fusion reactors are there.

Not even “instead”. We need all of the above: nuclear for base loads, solar for peak loads, batteries for surplus capture.
