Has anyone else encountered this issue since the spellsword migration?

Yes - with dragons (tried Abazuur and the White one by the aurelites) - sometimes paladins had the same issue with divine smite. (I am a Swash/Spellsword abjuration champion)

Same with the boulettes (the large scale things by the minmir giants if you attack them from the front. (is a pure spellsword drow with those)

Nodachi wielders don't seem affected (the paladin used that against the white dragon)

Correct, I suppose I forgot to mention boulettes as well.

So dragons, boulettes, and possibly other larger things

Can your character reach them if you manually run closer via WASD? And what weapon do they use?

For everyone reading this in future, the following information is gonna be useful to troubleshoot:
- Creature size
- Attack Target
- Wielded Weapon

For boulettes, if you run to the side of them, you can reach. I didn't think to try WASD with the dragons.

Was using scimitar on all of my tries as a drow and a human, respectively.

The paladin that could reach the dragon with a smite was using a nodachi. Another paladin using a warhammer could not reach the white dragon with his smite. Both paladins are humans.
