Ruby already knows how to wield a scythe. That's already a lesser known style of fighting. Qrow and Ruby are some of the known scythe users and as Ozpin claims, which by the way he has seen lifetimes of weapons and fighting styles, some high caliber scythe users. As for the rest of Team RWBY, you don't need lesser known fighting styles to benefit. A lot of fighting styles can be personalized to an individual. If you can fight well and make up for your weaknesses, you're likely fine.

As for the Dust clothing, you are required to sew it into the clothing. That takes time and effort. Not worth it in my opinion. The one with Dust jacket has a pathways for the Dust to conduct throughout the jacket. A clever and easier deployment system.
