It's not exactly super powerful but tiny servant bombs bags of ball bearings and similar items are just fun so I allow it. They are also good for getting items out of your pack like potions ect...
I personally like using the uncommon dust items on an artificer with tiny servant to make walking magic bombs. For example

I'll never understand why so many people are so ready to "WeLl AcTuAlLy~" in the name of people having fun. For the love of all, take liberties, people. Have *fun*. Get *creative*. Don't let the fact that something simple and neat be dictated by your brain-rot desire to have things ONLY as they say in line of text in a game meant for you TO GET CREATIVE AND TAKE LIBERTIES. Especially when the combination of this thing using a high level spell can already be achieved by use of a LOWER level spell (ex. using dragon's breath on a familiar but not a tiny servant... what?)
I know a ton of you think it makes you look smart to point out technicalities and come in trying to be a rules lawyer for a game that tells you in the very beginning to get creative and take liberties "rulings, not rules", and even just IGNORE stuff altogether if it gets in the way of fun. But that's not the case. It just makes you look desperate to PROVE how smart you are, which is something that smart people DON'T do. So yeah... opposite effect.

and depending on your dms ruling on poisons potentially any attack from a monster that deals poison damage based on the poison crafting rules
These will probably all have low dcs for you level but being able to set off up to 3 of them in a turn as a bonus action is pretty good.

Idea: animate a ring, then put it on
Step 2: cast dragon breath on the ring
Step 3: hold your hand in the shape of a gun
Step 4: chemical warfare
