Gwm

Polearm mastery

Sentinel

None of those feats require polearm proficiency, and both of those classes can benefit from their proficiency bonus with polearms without polearm proficiency. Monks can use quaterstaffs, warlocks can pact boon their weapon. The only gain there is that a monk could use a polearm other other than the quaterstaff, which admitedly might be of some value, but I wouldn't get too excited about it.

As I say, could work for monks, not particularly good though. Long way from 'bis' monk, and of no value whatsoever to warlock.
Warlocks in bg 3 don't seem to get proficiency with pact boon, they just roll with their caster stats. So proficiency is good.

Probper martial polearms are much better than the quarterstaff With things like the cleave ability
