The great majority do. Those who don't are:

-The Insect Glaive. While the Insect in itself could be replaced with, say, a falcon, making it physically work identically overall, there's still the problem of the buffs granted by the insect sucking the monster(s) and then giving them to the Hunter as a nectar.

-The Hunting Horn. The overall weapon and fighting style can easily translate to Remnant, but the notes can't without a Semblance.

-The Dual Blades. The weapons in themselves translate perfectly, but the whole Demon mode doesn't without a Semblance. Especially the part of attacks slicing regardless of enemy's armor and weapon's sharpness.

-The Charge Blade, sort of. At least the whole Phials part.

-Bowguns would be redundant, since they are literally just rifles.

The rest of the weapons are so simple in design and mechanics that saying they wouldn't work in RWBY would make you look like an ignorant moron.

-The Greatsword is just a big sword, like Sage's.

-The Longsword is just a long katana, like Raven's.

-The Hammer is just a hammer.

-Sword and Shield works in everything. If anything MH's SnS are smaller than usual.

-Lance and Shield works in everything as well.

-The most "incredible" thing about the Bow are the arrows, which are more like Javelins. Everything else is no different from a normal bow.

-The Battle Tonfas from Frontier actually make more sense in a world like Remnant than they do in Monster Hunter, style-wise.
