Many people like the paladin and smites and lay on hands, but spellcasting seems too much for some people on paladin chassis so why not turn those slots into more Lay on hands and make Lay on hands power Smites.
We will go from starting point that all spell slots would be used for smites or Cure wounds.
Round up cure wounds die to 5 per die plus 5 for cha bonus.
That gives healing of 10 for 1st level slot and 5 extra for every slot above 1st.
Smite is 2d8 for 1st level slot and +d8 for every slot above.
Now we add healing value of every spell slot directly to Lay on hands pool.
Smite will now spend 5pts of LoH for every d8 of extra damage.
Limit is prof bonus of d8's as extra damage.
Level 2, max 10pts for 2d8
Level 5, max 15pts for 3d8
Level 9, max 20pts for 4d8
Level 13, max 25pts for 5d8
Level 17, max 30pts for 6d8
with this variant, you can spend only 5pts of LoH for only d8 extra damage and max of 30pts for extra 6d8.
Little more utility for not having any spells for utility.
Paladin's LoH table would be
Tasha's option for regaining spell slots via channel divinity would restore Lay on hands;
10pts at 3nd level,
15pts at 5th level,
20pts at 13th level,
