You can actually be decker secondary without investing in high end cyberdecks, high attributes and a wide array of skills.... as long as you focus on hacking devices with a direct connection to gain access to the security host and from there use the direct connection to other security devices. you are mostly only looking at opposing rolls in the 4 dice size range. if your main role have a decent physical initiative you can do most (if not all) your hacking from AR.
not very useful for hacking into and/or messing with protected files in high rating hosts (you need a dedicated decker for that), but still very useful at controlling stuff like elevators, cameras, sensors, maglocks, alarms....
probably better synergy for characters with a focus on logic, intuition and/or willpower
- but a bit of hacking can go a long way for a B&E character
(trained to sneak and climb etc. to reach slaved devices to gain access).
likewise almost all archetypes can benefit from ordering around a few spy drones
eyes in the sky and all that
or a rotor drone with a silenced sniper rifle to shoot unaware guards
don't really need a control rig or any of them pilot and gunnery skills to benefit from that...
