Neither Scarlet nor Sage are good potential trainers for Jaune. They use completely different kinds of fighting styles, and completely different kinds of swords.

Closest to Jaune in fighting style is Sage, and they're only similar if you focus on that "Sheathsword" mode he used in the V4 finale. And even then, very different. Jaune's is more of a longsword, while Sage thinks he's playing Monster Hunter. As well as Nadir having a sword from to his rifle, Bolin's staff has fold out blades

So far Jaune has been learning from Pyrrha, so having the influence of other styles of blade combat may be benefical for him.

(Random side note, I just thought of that martial art movie where Bruce lee wore a yellow jumpsuit to symbolise that he had "no style" that would be cool)

Yes they all have differing weapons and presumeblydifferent forms/styles, but at this point most of the other students are still more experienced than Jaune. Qrow will probably be his trainer, but spars with the others could be a part of his learning?
