This makes perfect sense to me. I remember back in the day people discussing how rubbish stealth was in D&D.This is almost certainly an unpopular answer but a lot of these problems, to me, can be rephrased as "what if your DM isn't very good at DMing?" and the answer to that question is either 1.) sucks to suck/too bad for you or 2.) find a different DM.
To this day I don’t why it was so difficult for people to use. Creeping up on a guy? Stealth check. Pass? You did what you wanted. Failed? They detect you.
I’ve yet to find and action that couldn’t be resolved with me (DM) asking for a dice roll to resolve.
