Why are we assuming that Booming Blade doesn't get the extra damage?
You're a swashbuckler, you run up to the enemy, Booming Blade it, bonus action disengage, retreat.
Either the enemy makes a (probably improvised) ranged attack, or it takes the damage.
One is extra damage, the other is action denial.

Counterpoint considering my above statement:TWF (level 5)
Main Hand (base damage): (1d6 + 4) * 0.6 = 4.5
Main Hand (crit damage) : 1d6 * 0.05 = 0.175
Off Hand (base damage) : 1d6 * 0.6 = 2.1
Off Hand (crit damage) : 1d5 * 0.05 = 0.175
Sneak Attack (base) : 3d6 * (1 - 0.4*0.4) = 8.82
Sneak Attack (crit) : 3d6 * (0.05 + 0.4 * 0.05) = 0.735
Total: = 16.51
BB (level 5)
Main Attack (base damage) | (1d6+1d8+4)*0.6 | 7.2 |
Main Attack (crit damage) | (1d6+1d8)*0.05 | 0.4 |
Booming Blade (triggered damage) | 2d8*0.6 | 5.4 |
Sneak Attack (base damage) | 3d6*0.6 | 6.3 |
Sneak Attack (crit damage) | 3d6*0.05 | 0.525 |
Total | 19.825 |
