They changed True Strike significantly in the 2024 rules making it no longer a waste of an action for regular attacks.
New Strike lets you attack as part of the casting using your spellcasting stat in place of str/dex for the weapon, optionally changes the weapons damage type to radiant, and adds cantrip scaling to your weapon damage.
The one use case for original True Strike to give advantage on leveled spell attack rolls and reduce the chance of wasting a spell slot (or other consumable) on a miss is gone though.
Haven't really followed anything about WotC and Hasbro since the OGL controversy, I think it's not a safe bet to use any of their characters or books anymore even if they walked it back this time.

Sorry but I'm marking this spell as Duplicate.
There are already multiple spells that do this:
Shillelagh (Great Spell, actually)
True Strike (Terrible Spell, actually)
Frying Pan (Barbarian Exclusive Spell, actually)

You're correct, my mistake.

Okay, a pun that's actually fucking funny. I'll be damned

Wouldn't the spell name just be "Iron", then?

I hate that this pun only works in English.

Then you have to throw it though and deal ranged damage instead of one handed.

Oh, I haven't purchased any of the revised 2024 material but I still follow it and am playing in a campaign being run by a friend.
I don't feel like it's worth giving up regularly seeing friends I've had for decades just to avoid WotC materials on principle.

Still not as bad as the guy who casts level 3 Testicular Torsion.
