As far as I know there’s no Lone Wolf equivalent, although you can just choose to not travel with any companions. It is easier to do stealth in BG3 - for starters, they added a Group Sneak key (something that was sorely missing from DOS2), and there are plenty of times you can use stealth and/or exploration to circumvent combat encounters while still gaining XP.
