Paladin combat was broadly enjoyable, though as a melee character with a bunch of concentration effects I did suffer a lot from the issues being noted in another active thread that make it hard or impossible to maintain concentration.
It is off topic, however I'd suggest you try Spidersilk Armor on your concentrating character. It gives advantage on CON saving throws and you only need to roll 10 to pass the concentration ST. Add in a Bless spell (which both pally and SH have) and even without proficiencies you roll twice with +CON +1d4 on each roll. My SH didn't lose concentration even once in the whole playthrough and I am not exaggerating
It doesn't solve the fundamental problem, but it helps to enjoy a broader spectrum of spells!
