i think new jets would need much more better stealth coating as in future they are required to repeatedly leave and enter atmosphere from the space so material needs to be much more durable to avoid damage due to friction as future warfare will be mostly space based so u.s and other powers will have to move a head of f22 technology
Keep in mind, this is still tech from the 1990s. The F-35 which is newer from the F-22 is going to benefit from two decades tech and advances in the material sciences that Americans have undoubtedly made since then. And then when you factor in another decade or more of experience since the F-35 has been flying, you can only imagine what their latest Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider will incorporate as part of its stealth profile.
Rest assured, shaping, which China for eg seems to have perfected, is just one part of the package. The US is still decades ahead of everyone else.
