Your arguments are reasonable, however that even the swords become somehow hard to wield in upper levels of the tower is a fact in the Sword article, Of the Tower's Weapons, confirmed in some posts of SIU. It was somehow a challenge posed to Hatsu at the very beginning = meaning his arc is probably to win it, but that makes only few people in the tower who can use them.

For the staff/mace, that's what Hwa Ryun uses on the 2nd floor, but as Yuto on the 30F, there're now blades on the end of the "staff", so I could argue that the ends are becomming sharper and sharper, and a staff or a pole with only a pointy/piercing end is a spear in my notion (idk what you think about it).
