I don't heat transfer is the right way to think about this problem. The plasma produced by a fusion reaction has an effective temperature of billions of degrees, which allows for efficiencies well over 99% if you can keep it at that temperature. The more contact you have with the plasma, the lower your efficiency, the more waste heat you produce and the more you risk damaging your equipment.
