Interestingly enough it looks like it's stealthy enough for practical purposes. It definitely looks like they made the right compromise with stealth to retain actual maneuverability.
It's highly unlikely that there's no possible method for detecting stealth craft, so if the problem hasn't been cracked then it will be eventually. Betting everything on stealth seems like a deeply flawed strategy to me as well.
