TB Thrower Concerns

With Patch 8, I'm finally going to do it: I'm going to be an evil bastard (or so I say now). Part of that plan is leaning into it with a duegar durge who will be a Path of the Giants barb. I'm concerned, though, about what I'm hearing regarding initiating combat with throws and how bound weapons sometimes won't return when that happens. Going invisible and chucking my wep was going to be my main way of starting fights.

Is this still a thing? Anyone have any workarounds, including a mod? Not relevant, I don't think, but just in case, this is the rest of my intended party: Minthara/Shart as Death Cleric, Gale as bladesinger/hexblade, Astarion as xbow bardadin.

Thanks!
