You are going to make your bonus action problem worse with Shilleleagh, and you don't need Shillelagh, you have truestrike which uses intelligence anyway and that is your main damage dealer when you take the attack action. For Feats I think a better option is:Level 4: Shadow Touched - Wrathful Smite Int 18Level 6: Warcaster - Int 19Level 8: Fey Touched - Dissonant Wispers - Int 20Level 12: GWM - S17Level 14: HAM or Mage Slayer- S18At this point I would look at potentially going for Constitution, but TBH I would still prioritize strength even here.</blockquote>
