sounds cool! My GM also gave me your consideration - I don't profit from more attacks, which is true, but! I'm only using a longsword and shield, so I do D8s of damage, which is also how Booming Blade scales, so I'm "only" missing out on the +4 Strength Bonus (currently). Plus I intent to regularly make use of the extra damage Booming Blade gives by disengaging via echo. At least in my mind.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be smarter than what you suggest (I can't - I'm a noob), I just use the opportunity to check wether my plan would work in the first place.
Try it! Your ideas are sound and playing for a gimmick can be fun!
I'm about to start using a Fighter whose whole thing is shield bashing to shove enemies around and I expect it to be bad in most encounters.
I played a Ranger with Booming Blade and most of the time I didn't use it, but when I did it was very satisfying.
