‘… to deny the filioque is ultimately to subvert the homoousion, for such a denial allows no relational, and so no unifying, interplay between the Son and the Holy Spirit as together they come forth from the Father’. – Thomas G. Weinandy, Athanasius: A Theological Introduction (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2007), 137.

I think Weinandy has overplayed his case. Some want to deny the filioque by replacing it with “through the Son” (or even “to the Son”), in order to even further emphasise the relational link(s) between HS & Son, arguing that the fioloque misconstrues that relationship.

Well, Father Weinandy’s argument seems pretty compelling to me.
