Who said angled stealth planform shaping kills lift but curved body doesn't??????
Since say 1950 in just 75 years we have NOT reached the dead end & the zenith of naval jet design with Rafale. Every naval jet doesnt have to be like Rafale or a delta-canard.
But still if we search for "stealth rafale" then we get come good conceptual CADs:

But the above concept is an inflated stealth Rafale, as big as F-22 or YF-23.
Just like France skipped 5gen with FCAS/SCAF & surprised the world, it can surprise again with stealth naval jet any time. Time will tell soon.
Approximate scaled comparison of the stealth Rafale fan concept Vs current TEDBF design.
