And yet, we see several people in the RWBYverse who rely moreso on their Semblance or Dust than necessary (glaringly with Weiss and Yang), and they work just fine. That said, your points are all valid, and I'm playing a bit of a Devil's advocate.

There's nothing saying he can't throw the shurikens (at least, until the issue becomes throwing an electrified object, but I had imagined the shurikens having switches so the current could be turned on and off), but the Semblance is an easy way to return them, adjust their course, and go from there. There's also nothing saying this hypothetical character wouldn't also carry Electric Dust on him at all times either, but okay.
