In theory, relentless hex seems a useful invocation for a hexblade. You can teleport 30 feet, to any target of your hexblade curse or hex, as a bonus action.
However you have many other demands for your bonus action, such as moving your curse, casting hex or ice field, etc.
And there are several other useful invocations one could take instead.
how much use does it get in practice?
As I understand it, it would mostly be used for when the target of your Curse is far enough away that you cannot close to melee distance in one round. It enables you to add extra movement as a bonus action, so you can start slicing up the bad guy sooner. Or maybe to overcome difficult terrain, avoid Opportunity attacks from an enemy with PAM,etc.
But if your first round bonus action is taken up in casting Hex or activating your curse, you would use regular movement to close in while doing that. You have to already be within 30 feet to apply the curse, anyway. So you could just walk up to them.
So would you often need to use your bonus action to teleport close?
