I love it. I picked open palm and shoving things found a few items that give me extra damage on unarmed attacks. I do decent damage AND have a ton of CC. Plus being a half elf wood elf and picking the mobile feat means I can move an insane amount in one turn. Plus I can equip short bows for additional arrow utility.
Remember that you can respec at any time for just 100 gold.
If you like Monk, try adding 3 levels of Rogue(Thief subclass), the extra bonus action is pretty broken currently. You can Flurry of Blows twice a turn as long as you have Ki for great burst damage.
My issue is with my stat distribution which I think is locked in but I'd absolutely love to be mistaken. It's not too bad, just would tweak it a bit more in hindsight.
