I've just finished a big rewrite of my Deadline Husk plugin/submitter.
Posting here in case anyone else finds it useful.

https://github.com/pixel-ninja/HuskStandaloneSubmitter [github.com]

Supports:

• Submitting RenderPass based jobs
  
• GPU affinity
  
• Input/output file handling (by overriding the embedded productnames with Deadline mapped paths)
  
• Alter settings post-submission in the Monitor
  

Submission is via the Monitor or terminal. I had planned to write a little integration script to allow submitting from inside Houdini but never got around to it; because for my workflow I've never really needed it. I just write the USD files I want to render and then submit them in the Monitor or from the terminal.

New USD/LOPs tutorial for anyone interested in asset authoring and composition arcs.
Basically an in-depth explanation of what the component builder nodes do under the hood with some tips and tricks sprinkled in.

For anyone on Windows here's how I did in a powershell terminal:
itilestitch output.exr @(Get-Item *tile* | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name)
