Work in progress

Nourishing Fire comes in at Sorcerer 14. (Character level 16?) And up to that point you'll be less survivable due to less HPs. Form of the Phoenix is Sorc 18 (character level 20?), but that's only for 1 minute a day.

What's the plan? The paladin seems to be there to smite, but the Nourishing Fire is triggered from casting. Burning smite would be a bonus action cast for 6 HPs of healing plus you can divine smite. If the plan is just to cast, what are the paladin levels for?

In terms of spell selection, with so few spells known you may want to only go for a fire spell every other level or so and get some other utilities spells - you can always upcast if you have a slot unused and it will spread your spells known wider.
