Question about Skills
I haven't played PoE2 in a couple of months because I felt that a lot of the skills were weak, and that if I tried to build into certain skills that I liked, I'd be doing fine in early campaign, but they started to feel as if they weren't scaling very well as I got into act 3 and beyond, even though my gear was decent. This made me feel like I was getting funneled into using the specific skills.
I know there's been some patches and such since, and I've been feeling like playing some again. Has there been any update to the skills to make more of them viable?

I've played over 1.5K hours of mostly campaign and trying stuff, and I wouldn't be able to answer your vague question
That's how campaign is, unless you are lucky with items from vendor or self found. It's a slog and you feel weak and slow. At some point in act 2-3cruel it starts to loosen up. At least it was that way for me. Everything got better when I found a spear wit decent +phys damage.
There are some things that the community has figured out work really well, and then there's everything else. If you want to do your own thing you are going to have to use your brain to make it work. I made my own build I haven't seen anywhere else, and it worked really well until it didn't, and I didn't want to put in the required effort to go further. There is no doubt in my mind that the puzzle COULD be solved, it just would have taken time and energy I didn't want to spend anymore doing it.
If you want a sandbox to play in, POE2 is it, but everything doesn't work immediately without a lot of effort.
They’ve acknowledged that some skills are weaker because they exist to primarily combo. The next planned patch has buffs to skills like that to stand on their own.
We don’t know which skills and what buffs they’re gonna get just yet though, but the next league is gonna start in August, so we’ll know more soon enough
They said they would buff underperforming skills before the 0.3 release in an interview
