I personally don't have a problem with Sticky Follow.

I use /followme (character name). I get into combat. Follow is broken.. if I'm in range, follow resumes.

The only thing I do get from time to time is the message saying that Follow is Broken when I'm telling them to follow me when they're already following me.

But as far as Stickey goes, it works fine.

I also use this just when I'm doing my NW dailys on 2 of my toons. I set my clones to "click to move" and right click on a crate so they go walknig off to loot it (alt tabbed) then set my main off to go attack something.

Even though the follow wasn't broken BY combat (in most cases it's broken before combat even starts), just the act of going into combat and out of resets the inital follow command as long as I'm in range.
