I plan to dip with my arcane trickster into 2 wizard bladesinger, so I get the ASI/Feat (probably ASI), get 2 caster levels more, and I would get Uncanny Dodge, Evasion and Shadow Blade (My favourite spell). We play a west marches stule game in avrae, so we will reach level 20. So a correctly timed dip is good.

You need a 4-level dip into Wizard to get an ASI or Feat from wizard.
With a 2 level wizard dip you would need to be 9th-level to pick up shadowblade (Rogue7, Wizard 2). You could have 2nd level slots as early as 5th level (3 Arcane Trickster, 2 Bladesinger) but you would need one of those 2 classes to have access to 2nd level spells themselves before you would have shadowblade.
If you do this multiclass it can be really hard NOT to take more wizard levels after 3. If you go to wizard 3 you feel like - one more and I get a feat .... then at 4 - one more and I get 3rd level spells ..... then at 5 - one more and I get multi attack ....then at 6th - one more and I get 4th level spells (greater invisibility) .... then at 7th - one more and I get another ASI. .....
There is just no time after 2nd level where it seems like a good idea NOT to take another wizard level and before you know it you are a wizard with a Rogue dip.

This is a fact. That’s why you have to be disciplined and stick with a 2 level dip. That way you’re an augmented Trickster. A rogue dipped Wizard is just a weakened Wizard IMO.

Yes, but level 3 Echo Knight. Or Shadow Monk.
I actually highli advise against a 3 level dip on a 1/3 caster. That means they wont get 4th level spells.
