Great points.
Dipping should require coating like oil on the weapon and certainly not be common enough to warrant it's very own UI button. Wooden weapons should be destroyed a few rounds after setting them on fire.
I don't understand why the Devs at Larian feel the need to push all the gamey stuff so much. The surfaces, barrels, dipping, eating food in combat, climbing contests for high ground... There are a lot of great RPGs that didn't have gimmicks. BG3 has so much going for it, it doesn't need silly gimmicks added on top of 5e.
