The problem is simple. Sneak Attack doesn't really mean 'sneak' anymore. Base on the RAW and RAI, they need to change it to Distracted Strike or something. It has nothing to do with stealth anymore, just that the opponent isn't fully concentrating on your attack. This can work with Reckless attack still as the raged barbarian can be intimidating or something causing the opponents usual defenses to drop.
My Barb/Rogue flavored Rage as a Focused Battle Dance. Everything vanishes from the character's senses except her target and their weak spots. She will strike with her Scimitar, hitting the target's weak spot, even if she opens her own.
Sneak Attack isn't so aptly named. It should've been named Dirty Fighting because it pops whenever you attack a target that's easy to stab aka every situation giving you advantage to hit that isn't necessarily an unseen attacker thing.

Reckless means that you are not caring about defense not that you aren't paying attention to an opponents weak points.
