The fact that you successfully used Stealth means you are concealed.

I have this perfectly good wet erase marker, so I can just draw one on there. I also have a lot of scatter terrain minis. Most VTTs support scatter terrain. So I really don't see how putting a column or an alcove or a rock or a tapestry or whatever on the map presents some impossible logistical feat.
