I think the thing you underestimate is how much thralls are a impediment to the vamp
Simply put, once a vampire creates thralls, stealth gameplay is out of the window.
Before, having a gas mask did hide most of a thralls obvious giveaways. Now them clicking doors attacks them, hard. Using any console/terminal gives out a very loud and audible moan (so e.g. no botany, science, bartending, chef thralls). Trying to pick up a tool near someone is a dead giveaway.
If you go thralls, you go loud. And the vamp is a stealth antags first and foremost. Couple that with a constant upkeep to keep the thralls at good max health and you run into problems in classic.
