Honestly when it comes to Dust you can make a really nice limitation. Dust runs out. It's not cheap so you have to conserve it. And hard light was said to be expensive (contrary to what she show showed... but still.)

Another limitation you could go with is that it can shatter with enough force. It's just a small sword, not a giant mech generator. And we've seen an average big Nevermore destroy the colosseum shield, so a strong enemy breaking a dust sword can work. I just really like the Raven vs Cinder fight where they had to constantly create new weapons as they kept breaking. I don't mean that fast in my case, but maybe the user of a hard light weapon would need to calculate how much damage the blade can take before shattering.
