Absolutely agree. During the pandemic lockdown, I spent the majority of my off time treating Night City like a tourist destination and exploring it while taking screenshots as though I was on holiday.
It really is a work of art. I was so excited for the multiplayer to launch as it felt like I knew the streets well enough to provide a virtual taxi service.
Haven't played this, and its likely very, very early in development, but a multiplayer mod does exist:

The multiplayer mod, is unfortunately a very far ways away.

Multiplayer?
CDPR had originally announced a multiplayer mode, and then canned it after the launch disaster. Apparently there's a mod being made to put it back in, though, that's neat.
I don't get how multiplayer would even work in this game. So much cyberware and perks relies on being able to change how time flows.
Right now the multiplayer mod being developed will allow server owners to choose how it affects the server. But to answer your question, the mod is being developed more for a GTA RP type server. There will be no "co-op" mode to go through the story.
I'm not following how that solves the "time dilation" problem?
Each server can handle it how they want. Who it affects, etc.
What are the options for handling it
One person slows down everything or no one slows down at all or just NPCs slow down.
Why did you need that spelled out for you?
Because none of those options would make for an even remotely playable multiplayer experience and I was hoping that there was something else that I was missing.
I have no idea how the mod author is implementing it but a better method would likely be:
Time slow effects all npcs/players/projectiles in a radius with a falloff towards the edge of the radius, time slow can counteract time slow.
Change it to only have effect in a radius, on non-player entities. BOOM #ImADeveloperNow
