In the earliest playtests they could sneak attack with any weapon they were proficient in, this was ultimately changed because rogue barbarian with raging sneak attacks existed and was as horrific as one might guess lol.
That said, mono-class rogue sneak attacking with anything won't really break anything.
What would you multi barb with after 5? Currently playing a zealot barb in curse of strahd at lv6 and I feel very strong though I have great stats (20str18con16dex)
Well, it does represent a nice power-up for the rogue, but it has enough growth space before becoming broken.
For example, it would allow thieves to sneak attack with acid vials while holding their main actions or GWF to finally have an use case. Plus PAM/Sentinel is arguably better on a rogue than a fighter or barb.
