that is the problem, it should be worth it.Also why I usually don't bother upcasting damage spells except a few/situational.

Not my reading of RAW. IMO it targets the initial creature and every creature within 5 ft of it. Much the same reason chaos bolt cannot be twinned. 5e is written in natural language - looking for keyword 'target' is the wrong way to do things. IMO.RAW it seems fine. It only targets 1 target and isnt self.
Most mages prefer not to find themselves in a position where Thunderwave is an option!One thing ice knife has as an AOE over thunderwave or burning hand is range. It still is weak, but there is that.
If you cast a bonus action spell (such as quickened Fire Bolt) you can only (have) cast a cantrip using your action - which means you couldn't have cast Guiding Bolt.Personally I like Guiding Bolt, but it doesn't upcast well. It works better with quicken though - if it hits you can follow up with a quickened fire bolt with advantage.
