It's not about early versus later fights. It's about Stealth as a Bonus for everyone. That is the whole point of Cunning Action for Rogues is to make it so they can stealth and attack and stealth again but no one else can. It makes it so Rogues are the only ones who can do this.
By allowing everyone to do this even at level 1, it cheeses the entire combat system. When I replay BG3, I try different combat tactics each time to test it. This playthrough, I tried the stealth, and it's still way broken. If a player discovers this early on, the game can become extremely boring and easy especially when the monsters don't hunt for you. That is just bad design, and it really needs fixing.
Time for a fighter playthrough challenge. Can I stealth my way through and therefore never lose a single HP?
