Unfinished Business tries to stick to things that are truly unfinished, i.e. started, or planned, but never fully implemented in the game. Minsc was supposed to have a quest where Boo got kidnapped, but they didn't have time to put this into the final version before it was shipped out. There never was any plan to integrate the Athkatla Illithid lair into any larger plot (or, if there was, icelus and the others have been unable to find it), so messing with it would fall under the aegis of some other mod, not Unfinished Business. (True, the Kalah Wish quest is almost entirely made up, but Kalah does at least make a definite reference to it in the original game.)
Good Katanas are few and far between, and sadly CF is the only really useful one, so if you want a Katana that's capable of hitting the enemies in the game that really need hitting, you're forced to use one of the cheesiest weapons in the game, and that's saying something.
The hierarchy of the Katanas in SoA goes:
Celestial Fury > Dak'kon's > Corthala Family Blade > Malakar > everything else.
ToB adds Hindo's Doom, which is between CF and Dak'kon's in terms of usefulness.
