Question regarding Rogue/Wizard leveling

Hi! We are playing according to the D&D 2024 rules (or 5.5e). My character is a Level 4 Rogue / Level 1 Wizard with the Keen Mind feat.

I use the following tactic: thanks to the Fast Hands feature of the 2024 Thief Rogue, I use Spell Scrolls as a Bonus Action, and then use my Action for something else. For example, in the last combat, I used my Bonus Action to read a Fireball scroll and my Main Action to attack using True Strike.

I have 18 Intelligence and 16 Dexterity, and I focus my playstyle on True Strike attacks. It feels to me like the 5th level of Rogue is very weak and underwhelming. Uncanny Dodge will consume my Reaction, which I usually prefer to save for Shield (which is more effective) or for an extra attack via the Ready action. Additionally, the new Cunning Strike options don't seem that useful given my relatively low Dexterity.

Maybe I should take another multiclass and stop progressing in Rogue, since I’ve already gotten everything I need from it? I mean, I already have Fast Hands at level 3. I was thinking about multiclassing into Warlock or Paladin or anything, but I’m not sure yet. Help me out!
