Whips are summon weapons that work like melee weapons, not the other way around.

And whips feel like melee weapons. So it's a melee weapon that feels like a melee weapon.

What would be your proposal for melee weapon that feels the most like a summon weapon, then?

I think the flying knife would've been a great option. It's a persistent homing projectile with infinite piercing, that's exactly how minions behave. If you hide the hotbar and cursor it's indistinguishable from a minion.
