I haven't done a ton with Arcane Trickster, but I think you've got the general idea, at least at lower levels. Shield, Mirror Image, etc will increase your survivability. Invisibility is nice to deliver a sneak attack when you otherwise couldn't sneak up. In general, the AT's magic is utility-focused.
At level 9, though, you get Magical Ambush--enemies have disadvantage on saving throws when you're hidden. That's huge for spells like Hold Person, which can be hard to land. So you might end up doing more combat magic at later levels.
Ah, good point, I really should keep that mind when I reach level 9, that sounds really fun. Thanks a lot!
