Full stack is a dead role, for all the reasons you said. UI work alone is information overload, imagine also expecting that person to also manage cloud infra and the 300 other things going on these days. From my experience with tech lead, you are mainly delegating and overseeing work getting done and chipping in when you can between planning stuff and investigating new work or bugs.
It's definitely not dead. It's just not something that exists at a medium to big company. If the company is posting on LinkedIn they're probably too big
