I only have poor recommendations after wracking my brain:
The Tower of the Raven by Ann Leckie is the closest I’ve come to a fantasy heist that’s accessible. The heist component is present, but that’s not a tag I’d add to the book without stretching. It does some deeply fascinating things, though.
Then in completely inaccessible fantasy heists we have Skin Game. Book FIFTEEN in the Dresden files. While the series has some other decent heist-like moments, this is a HEIST. And it’s one of the top 5 books of the last few years for me, maybe #1.
But in 3-4 years of my records, that’s about it for heists I’ve read.
I loved The Tower of the Raven. I'm not sure I'm willing to commit to as big of a series as Dresden files, but I appreciate the rec!
Dresden is pretty great and worth it in general, moreso with Skin game to work towards. But it’s absolutely long and it doesn’t sound like what you’re after at the moment.
