Like you, I don't kill the hands at all unless I'm ready to kill Ibaraki in the same turn or the next turn (usually turn 13-15). Drake can one-shot the hands with her NP with her 1st skill active. Otherwise I'd chisel the hands' HP without killing them before using Drake's NP. But this method usually results in Ibaraki not dying in the last turn (with 300k-ish HP) so it's give and take.

I can tank the hands' NP using Waver's stalls, Mash's taunt and a whole lot of defense buffs.

The few times I did kill the hands in the early turns, Ibaraki slaughtered my servants with stray crits (especially that one aoe crit). Never again.
