as a tax lawyer you are probably more organised than I am but there are literally never avios/reward flights when I get around to booking. i use them for hotels/a bit of cash off/seat choice if I have dropped to bronze and that's about it
Spending any sort of air miles on anything other than long haul business/first class travel is usually pretty terrible value. The cash cost of long haul business class flights is absolutely mental these days.
Avios actually quite good for Club Europe flights, surprisingly. I value avios at about 0.7p each, LHR to Vienna , a route I do regularly, is £95 worth of avios plus £25 cash in CE.

If you're not redeeming for front end of the plane, then turning into nectar points is definitely the way to go.

I only look at avios points to see whether I am at risk of losing silver status.

Link avios to nectar and swap.
You can move with no loss of points to and fro
It takes a while to move loads as they have a monthly cap
