This was the initial decision but a problem surfaced that since JFT will be the most numerous fighter in PAF, will it not be feasible to integrate it with both datalink options?

As far as I am aware, this has not been conclusively decided as of yet. There are political considerations at play here which are complicating the issue. Thus far, the split remains between Chinese and Western platforms.
However what you suggest makes sense and is logical. I hope they actually do this overcoming any political resistance from the outside.
