Once/if we get a sustained fusion reaction, how will we get power out? A steam turbine??

Steam spinning a turbine seems like such an archaic method of energy transfer. Are there any other proposed methods of converting the energy of a fusion reaction to electricity?

It is more common today to use pressurized water instead of steam, but it still comes down to heating water through some means and using that to drive a turbine.

This is essentially how nuclear, coal, and concentrating solar power work.
