I'm not sure the top profile is correct, it could potentially be alot flatter on top of the aircraft and not YF-23 style big engine nacelle.View attachment 151217
YF-23 only had huge engine nacelles due to the fact that the original ATF specs required short field capability so they had to install thrust reversers which made the nacelles massive. The real production F-23 would've gotten much smaller nacelles due to the airforce cancelling the short field landing requirements. I would expect J-XDS to have something that is either similar to the real production F-23 or even fully flush engines like F-22.

Agree, otherwise there won't be enough space for the weapon bay
