Karlach has been datamined as a potential paladin Origin companion.

On Shovel, I completely agree with it not making sense to be a 1 time scroll. Personally I think it should be changed to a once per long rest Summon Shovel wand type item. Shovel's dialogue mentions that it's old master never summoned it for anything fun. That implies it was summoned repeatedly and that simply isn't possible with a destroyed on use scroll.

On Quasits, I haven't seen if it was changed yet, but the Quasit's menacing attack should NOT be a 1 use per rest ability. It is the only summoned that has a cooldown on it's abilities.
