One thing that'd really take the Blade from 'you can have fun with it' to a 'you can really kick ass with it' is if Larian moved up the tabletop class' 'Master's Flourish' ability from level 14 to within BG3's 12-level range.

Most powergamey D&D forum types are not big on Blades, but it strikes me as a more than viable playstyle on most difficulty settings. All together, I'm imagining the fun and versatility of a Bard with more serious front line damage dealing capabilities, and that sounds like a great time. They gain certain martial bonuses like a Fighting Style (I'd go with dual wielding since they lack shield proficiency) and Extra Attack alongside the Bard's spellcasting and support kit, as well as the unique ability 'Blade Flourish.' That last one is a special attack that deals extra damage and can either boost your own AC, deal damage to a second enemy, or knock an enemy back. There's a distinct swashbuckler's flair to the Blade's Dexterity-focused, flashy fighting.
