Sure, level 3 cloaking is even better than level 2, although it's more expensive and it's harder to find yet another power bar to allocate to it. I usually prioritize it sometime after weapons 6-8 as required by what I've got, shields 6 (3 bubbles), engines 5, hacking 3, doors 3 (that's more important for flagship phase 3.)
Yes, micromanaging to let a harmless hacking drone through is a strategy too. The skill ceiling for this game is so high, always more tricks to do and discover, and that's why we love it so much.
FYI, we usually call the ships by the designations like "Stealth A" or whatever - it seems easier to remember which ship is which by those names, I'm actually not sure offhand which one is the Nesasio.
