BA potions are another one I usually include as well, even the nonhealing ones. I had a gut reaction against a fighter PC using a potion that applied greater invisibility and then making six attacks at advantage using action surge, but I thought, "fuck it, they're expending a valuable resource to have this moment, let them have it," and it was good.
I'm the type of DM that loves for my players to feel like badasses, so I'm all for them pulling off stuff that may or may not be exactly RAW. I had a high level sorcerer want to sneak up behind a BBEG and put his hand over their mouth and cast fireball at 9th level. I allowed it and they had a great moment that the rest of the table loved. They felt super powerful and were able to save the day. The players still talk about that moment years later.
