What makes you say the Epstein drive is pure fiction? If we can figure out fusion, it’s probably not that far off. Constant acceleration is a powerful force.
Even if we do figure it out there may be significant barriers to implementing it in such a way that The Expanse displays its use.
For example, the Harry Potter invisibility cloak. We’ve figured out how to cloak things from sight in very controlled parameters but to apply it in literal cloak form like in the movies? Fiction
I mean, I feel a little like that’s saying, “Flying machines?! Fiction.” in the 1800s. I’m pretty optimistic that we’ll succeed with fusion, given the current state of the technology

Right there.
