Followers breaking stealth is worse than I thought and it's ruining my build

I'm on my second stealth archer run and I'm losing my mind. I've got Aela following me because I wanted to try the Companions questline this time, and she keeps triggering combat the second we're anywhere near enemies. Like, I'll be crouched, hidden, lined up for a sneak attack, and she just walks directly at the target. Detection meter goes red instantly.

I know followers have their own AI and they're not gonna sit still, but this feels genuinely broken. Is there a perk or something that makes them less aggressive? Or am I just supposed to dismiss them for dungeons and only use them for roleplay? Because if stealth archer requires solo play to actually work, that's a pretty massive limitation nobody talks about.
