I'm pretty sure in 5e, all Sneak Attack is, is a means of getting Rogue damage up to par. I have a cool Rogue character concept I cannot play without serious DM fiat, that uses a shovel. But hitting someone on the back of the head with a club is like the second most cliche sneak attack, after only literally stabbing them in the back.I've always thought there should be bludgeoning sneak attacks. I will say that it should perhaps be limited to weapons you're proficient with. I really don't know why they decided to limit it. I'll also put forward that you should be able to Sneak Attack with any weapon. With Tasha's that doesn't matter as much anymore, but it still makes sense from a thematic standpoint (while you can build a STR elf, a DEX elf fits the flavor better). This also makes it make more sense for elves to get longsword proficiency, since their default ASIs are in DEX. The idea being that two hands gives you more control over the weapon and doesn't require as much strength to use. I actually have a houserule that makes them finesse weapons when wielded with two hands.
