No, Cyberpunk 2077's elevators aren't just loading screens in disguise, says lead: "The engine is a miracle. I will not accept slander." (www.gamesradar.com)

It's a bit of a misnomer really. They are not loading screens in the traditional sense. They're just doing level streaming and the elevator ride is needed to delay things to give the engine time to actually load stuff in, so they are loading screens in a very real sense.

A bunch of the bugs that the game had when it first came out was due to mishandling of level streaming and a broken version of viewport culling.
