I think the original bone knight incorporated the Staff of Writhing as a bone-themed gimmick, but I grew fond of that janky staff during the leveling process. Proc staves are not necessary, but even the bad ones (like Staff of Writhing) can interrupt casters and find some use. I'm sure you could lean in further with a Velium Crystal Staff, but I think your choice of weapon is also valid.
You'll just miss out on procs, which would be a shame with all that dexterity gnomes can get. I think I'm rolling with 180 dexterity unbuffed on my 54 bone knight.
