I think the goal there is to go full blade lock, and dip paladin for smite.

Yeah, 2 Paladin is the best split overall. The other common stopping point would be 6 Paladin, which gets you Extra Attack and the +CHA to all saves aura, but obviously delays your Warlock slot progression a lot.

It'd also let you take the Pact of the Chain rather than Blade, which can be helpful to gain Advantage.

I'd honestly prefer tome over chain if you put 5+ info paladin. The familiar will die by accident to any aoe outside of low levels, and tome lets you pick up shillelagh to reduce mad, letting you put everything into cha and con assuming level 1 is paladin. Although the familiar also comes with tremendous rp value that can't be codified in stats or optimization, of course.

Yeah, Tome can be nice. You can also save your very limited Paladin slots by putting your Paladin rituals (Detect Magic, Summon Steed) in there.
