I have often thought of Aura as being like Haki from One Piece and in that series they are able to effectively project their Haki on to clothes and weapons. That isn't some sort of permanent thing, but it can allow for incredible combination attacks with a character's other powers. We see some similar combination attacks with Weiss using her Semblance in conjunction with her weapon and Dust. Given that we don't know much about Jaune's weapon (such as whether it uses Dust in some way) or about his Semblance, there is already plenty of untapped potential regarding his current weapon, though he could upgrade it to more effectively use Aura or Dust.
