If I had anti-stealth detection capabilities, you can be damn sure I wouldn't use it until the shooting started. We'll never know how good detection systems are until the shooting starts for real, and my guess is it'll turn out that Stealth confers a relatively small benefit.
Unless we're talking about a second tier combatant, in which case Stealth is still a moot point since actively suppressing radar sites has proven to be ridiculously easy.
