And if you cast haste on the fighter, they get DOUBLE the attacks.

If you have two fighters and a sorcerer, you can cast twinned haste on both (Do make sure to have warcaster feat on the sorc unless you enjoy lethargic). Now if you have a Gith sorc, you can also use the medium boots that prevent knockback and prone while concentrating, but no shield proficiency.

If you want a dedicated haste buffer, it could be worth taking the medium armour feat as it gives medium armour and shield proficiency along with warcaster.

Then if you go polearm expert and sentinel, you get an extra bonus action attack (not sure if haste applies to bonus action), and two extra possible opportunity attacks.

Aaannnnndddd if the enemies are susceptible to hold person / monster, every melee hit is an auto crit.

Forget damage sorc, make a buffer and holder.
