In 5e part of what made the thief class was the ability to use a potion as a bonus action. Now that the ability was given to every one I’d love to see some thing else to beef up the thief.
I wish I had a good option but currently I am not sure. I feel that rogues in general and thief’s especially where hit pretty hard with the nerf bat in Baulders Gate 3.
P.s add expertise.
I mean, Matt Mercer popularized using a potion as a bonus action as his own homebrew rule, and a lot of tables adopted it--myself included. I think using a potion for yourself should be a bonus action in DnD, it makes more sense than it taking a full action to do so. Obviously there are some...changes from RAW in this game, but in this case they used probably one of the most popular homebrew rules here.
