The film's plot is partly based on the premise that F-35s cannot be used for a certain mission, due to GPS jamming being employed in the mission's target area, which necessitates falling back to F-18s, and requiring turning to a seasoned pilot like Maverick for advanced F-18 flying instruction.
However, GPS jamming poses no special difficulty for an F-35 -- none that wouldn't also apply to an F-18. Verily, any of the munitions seen being used for the mission by the F-18s in the film, could be used by F-35s just as well.
