So I guess alp 400 together with yirad will be the last elements to enter service as alp 500 is already in service/production

Yes, they are probably the final ground-based sensors together with the passive radar system and STR-800G orbital tracking radar. There will be satellite-based early warning and SAR sensors. I guess we can also count UAV and airplane-based early warning radars, they are all interlinked.

What is the longest distance these radars can detect an f35 and send data to AD or fighters? Any reasonable guesses?

Orbital tracking radar is not useful for the detection of F-35. Its purpose is to detect and track items orbiting Earth.
Passive radar can detect F-35 from several hundred kilometers in favorable conditions. But it is an inherently different sensor compared to active radars and has caveats.

YIRAD is for the detection of ballistic missiles and hypersonic targets at high altitudes. It is not a system tailored towards F-35.
ALP-400G VHF radar can detect F-35 from several hundred kilometers, but it can't provide a precise firing solution.
