Unfortunately, I picked up a habit of optimizing while playing 3.5/PF, and I'm trying to quit the habit now. I started creating the character I'm playing now (almost) only looking at the numbers, and have tried to alter it as I've developed the character concept, but I ended up with something in between. It's less optimal that I planned for, but I should possibly have taken a level or two in another class to create him more in how I view him. I struggled with sacrificing both spell levels/slots and delaying the 6th lvl extra attack...
I would put +2 into Intelligence at this point. Your spells will soon become more powerful and impactful than your melee attacks. 18 Dex and 18 Int is a really good combo for a Bladesinger.
The biggest thing you want War Caster for is advantage on concentration saves, but while you're in blade song those are already being helped. This is NOT a final solution, because you can't Bladesing every single encounter. Definitely at level 8 you want War Caster.

I agree.

I feel your pain. I couldn't multiclass a Bladesinger. Mainly due to the loss of spell progression.
