Sneaky hacking removed since launch?

I got the game soon after launch and started a sneaky hacker. Didn't get very far before shelving the game until it was in a better place in terms of polish. Then I recently decided to give the game another chance and pick up where I left with the sneaky hacking. The character seems no longer viable now since my previous approach seems to be limited to however long it takes for the inevitable and unstoppable tracing to finish. Then the game gently pushes my nose into combat and rubs my face in the fact that I have not specced for that.

Is there any way left to level my sneaky hacker through sneaky hacking? Because I did like that playstyle and I don't see myself leveling a fighter. If I wanted to play a shooter, I certainly wouldn't do that in Cyberpunk 2077.
