Massive stars that can undergo pair production instability are not using fusion mechanisms that are envisaged in the ICF. These stars, I believe, are triple-alpha-cycle degenerating stars. At the very least they are carbon-cycle stars. Their energy is not coming from the fusion of isotopes of hydrogen.
