I would think she's getting an arm. I mean... I hope she does. Not because it would make life easier for her in-universe, but because that would be stupid for her not to get it. After all, if so many others have prosetics, why wouldn't she get one.

Granted, I do think her not getting one immediately could work well, if done in the right way. It could be something like Qrow, Taiyang or even Ironwood (perhaps as an apology to disqualifying team RWBY from the Tournament) offering it to her, only for her to refuse it (out of fear, anger or apathy). Afterwards, Yang will ultimately have an internal conflict between feeling sorry for herself and trying to move on and then will choose to get the new arm.

As for the new arm being a weapon: I could see it as that. Some other theories though I think could be that she also regains all of Ember Cecilia-either by going into Vale to look for it (unlikely) or Blake will come back in the night and secretly leave it for her (more likely). The last could be she gains a new gauntlet that is something like the "opposite" to the one she lost (i.e. uses blue dust instead of red perhaps).
