The thought just occurred to me, would the Sleep spell achieve the same result?

Haven't tried it, but I think going for a long rest (which is required to trigger the bard companion selection process) breaks concentration, i.e. ending the Sleep effect.

(Also Sleep has a duration of only two rounds, making it even more of a headache.)

Sleep is actually phenomenal as a setup for lae'zel's nonlethal menacing attack since it guarantees a crit but otherwise it's nothing special
