The best attributes to focus on early in Cyberpunk 2077 are probably Body, Reflexes, and Technical. Focusing on the Body attribute helps your raw physical power and lets you force open doors. Increasing this attribute gives you more health points, stamina, melee damage, and movement bonuses.
Another useful early game attribute to focus on is Reflexes, especially if you are playing on a more challenging difficulty. Reflexes determine your maneuverability and increase your overall movement speed. You will get some Evasion perks, improved critical hit chance, and damage from Mantis blades.
Finally, Technical Ability is important when it comes to crafting powerful items. The powerful gear can help you scale with higher difficulties and help you out immensely down the road.
