Thanks for all the replies. I think I will move away from Devil's Sight and get something fun. I am gonna try Mask of Many faces and keep IPW. Next level I will probably change that out to Eldritch Smite and will pick up Thirsting blade.
Edit: only just saw that your DM doesn't care about VSM. I definitely don't recommend that since it's part of the balancing as well as flavour but so be it. Ignore my entire paragraph to point 2. No reason to keep IPW if you don't care about VSM and if you already have a magic weapon.
You are right. I decided that I will follow the VSM rules regardless of how firmly they are enforced.
We are using fantasy grounds which does auto roll concentration checks. I am thinking I will take the Resilient con to get it to 16 with proficiency. If I do that I will primarily use a rapier as my IPW for flavor mainly. Most spells in combat at this point are not VSM. How cheesy is it to sheathe a weapon, cast and redraw the weapon? I figure I am pretty badass swordsman to rise above the fray. Always played as if our characters are "the best of the best".
Depends on the spell. If you need to cast a spell as a reaction, such as using the shield spell, I don't think you can do that. I believe you can only use your item interaction on your turn, but I am not certain.

Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.
That makes sense. I hate trying to bend the rules but there are so many good ways to go in 5e that when I pick one I have to leave so many on the table. I need 5 or 6 games running with different characters at the same time to try everything out.
