From what I read in the last Steam posts: yes, they are blocked on version 1.1. For any games you buy on Steam you depend upon what patches they are willing to upload in Steam, you can never patch elsewhere because of Steam DRM.
On UPlay the game is updated AFAIK, but this will still not allow to run the stock game or TWoS or other mods without problems (because of DRM). Also is Steam = Uplay? Do you have to pay extra? I don't know and I don't care at this point.
Steam could make a sticky post with instructions about patching on UPlay, but: nothing, and no support I think, you just spend $34.99 for air.
That's because Steam just has checked if you were able to start the game, they see you can, so all is ok

My guess is: they will simply take the game out soon without telling a word. This game is surely a pin in their ***.
For the current state of things, I believe the Steam version of SH5 is good for the trashbin. I will remember this next time before I buy there.
P.S: It seems that if you critisize Steam too much you soon have problems with your Login
