I would say no.
CP would be a better game if it were as they originally announced it.

"RPG first", "All choices matters and will shape the story"
Unfortunately they forgot this along the way and delivered an action, adventure game with very poor RPG in it, where choices hardly matter at all.
The skill system ("haven't tried it with the overhaul changes") based on how it were originally, were pretty boring I think and personally I didn't bother to much with it. Which again to me comes back to the lack of RPG, there should have been lots of skills focusing on none combat stuff, sort of like we know it from Fallout 2 / 3. Skills that would let you interact with the world based on what type of character you wanted V to be.
I personally hope for TW4 that those working on the RPG elements when it comes to the character really give it a good boost and a severe testing, because so far this is one of the weak points about CDPRs RPG games in my opinion. The interaction with the game world could be done a lot more interesting, doesn't have to be complicated.
But to me in RPG character development is a very important part of the experience and I would rather it being to complicated with lots of stats than it being simplified.
We already know that they have very good quest designers and able to tell these so they are interesting. Now they just need to figure out how to get the rest of their games on the same level.
CP in my opinion, is being carried by the storytelling, the city and the characters. The rest of the game is below average or average at best.
But I think they could make a good adventure game if they wanted, but personally I prefer games where you can pick up loot, customize your character and also prefer games with a free to choose protagonist as V. Even over Geralt, despite him being very cool.
And I don't think V as such is a weaker character than Geralt, because in TW the whole story is more or less about him, whereas in CP it is basically about everyone other than V and still as a character you feel like its yours, especially supported by the other characters like Jackie etc. So had the story been about V, I think it would have made for a very good protagonist to be honest.
But overall I think the biggest issue is the lack of RPG elements, whether that is the character skills and interaction with the world or just in general interaction in the world. And obviously that the world changes based on what you choose and you can see the effect, so way to much action and adventure and to little RPG
