D&D 5E - What Is Sneak Attack "Equal" To, Balance-wise?

I haven't tried it, but it's a thought provoking question. Like, Extra Attack is only worth so much in a vacuum, it has to synergize with other portions of the class kit to really be "worth it". There's a reason they can throw it in to various gish subclasses (like Swords bard or Bladesinger wizard) and it doesn't obviously become broken. Whereas, I think if those subclasses had gotten Sneak Attack progression as a rogue instead, people would have had major issues with them.

I do think if you're going to trade in Extra Attack for something, you really need to throw out Fighting Style as well. If I made Paladin a full caster, I'd probably dial back some of the lower level features and spread them across Tier 1 and into Tier 2.

If I replaced Ranger Extra Attack with Sneak Attack, I'd definitely dump fighting style. I feel like something else should be dumped, but I'm not sure what. Maybe the 11th level archetype feature?
