Hence why they aren't so common in the fandom. Well, it is possible to use them as weapons in an Iron Man-Like style. But they might only be accessories like Blake's magnetic holster.

They might not be a thing because Remnant already have Antigrav technology. And why use propelling to fly if you can simply escape gravity and use thrusters to direct yourself. So maybe their equivalent of jetpacks are antigrav devices with directional thrusters. I've been using the words "flight system" because they can vary a lot. Boot and hand jets like Iron Man, something small, compact, and fast on the back, mechanical wings linked to an engine like Falcon from the Marvel movies (or my Orianna's Thunderbird), what is basically a small plane on the user's back, or perhaps clothing with wind and gravity Dust. Someone even made a flying broomstick a while ago.

There are multiple options that could work in Remnant. Indeed, there are a lot of variations that could possibly work. The point I've tried to make is that jetpacks are a valuable technology in Remnant.
