Yup, that's a huge huge part of it. It's absolutely ridiculous to me that this is completely barred behind the online-only section. There's zero reason for it except to either curb piracy or punish those that play offline.

Likewise with the elusive targets or escalation missions. Those could have easily been 'free DLC' that was released, similar to how Witcher released all that free DLC over time.

Even worse, if you have progression online but lose internet or go offline for whatever reason you get shoved back into the non-progression mode.
