- The game is utterly flawed and you should either change it or leave it.
- the character is only good at combat and other kind of challenges would allow the other characters to shine.
Second: regarding the infiltration, the party would be underestimating the abilities of a Jack of all trades.
One thing that is important to remember in regards to the spotlight is that the spotlight needs to be shared across the campaign as a whole, is perfectly normal for some characters to shine more in combat,others to shine at infiltration, others at solving supernatural problems, etc. The important is that across the campaign everyone got a chance to shine.
