What we use the SpaceX starship - fully refueled in orbit - as a second stage? Put a 3rd stage in/on it to launch a probe. Fire the 3rd stage down in jupiters gravity well to get the most from it, or whatever trickery can be had. I suspect we could get to the heliopause a bit quicker even without such nice planetary alignment.
