I'm fine with lower risk training options, but they have to train slower than academies, or stop giving you skill training after you hit some low skill cap.
One of the ideas I proposed was exactly that. Low risk/low reward missions would be just that: Low reward. And experience gain is one of those rewards. If the mission you are taking on is too easy, you get no experience from it. You can only improve by doing progressively harder and harder things.

Otherwise no infiltrator would ever spend money on academies, which is supposed to be the fastest way to train skills for most nobles.
It still would be faster, and 100% risk-free. Provided you have enough gold to spend.

But even discounting that, what would be so bad about infiltrators not having to spend huge blocks of time at the academy? Is being bored and useless for two or three months viewed as some sort of infiltrator's Rite of Passage, or indoctrination ritual?
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.
