While valid points, there are somethings to note.

Point 1. During the last few episodes of season 2, when Weiss knows she will be out in the wilderness for a while and need the best of the best of herself, Weiss' eyes  never go back to blue. From the moment they land to the end of the season. No blue. (Vol. 2, Chapt. 9-12)

Point 2. Winter's eyes are always silver, and the same shade as Weiss' when they change. (Vol. 3, Chapt. 3 & 4)

Point 3. Winter's semblance, like Ruby's the only confirmed living silver-eyed warrior, coungers up rose petals. Blue ones albeit, but rose petals. (Vol. 3, Chapt. 3)

Point 4. Appart from Ruby (who took down a Dragon) Weiss has taken down the largest and worst enemy up to date, the Giant Armor. (Whtie Trailer)

Point 5. During the fight with team FNKI, Weiss' eyes are blue before and after the fight, immediatly so. But during the fight, no matter the angle or lighting, are grey-silver. (Vol. 3, Chapt. 5)

Point 6. During the Battle (but not the Fall) of Beacon, her eyed become grey-silver with the same consistancy of the battle with Team FNKI.

Point 7. Weiss' eyes become grey-silver for the entire meeting with Winter in "It's Brawl in the Family" (Vol. 3, Chapt. 3)

Point 8. The Schnee's semblance is hereditary, and the only thing we know of that is hereditary in RWBY besides this, is the silver-eyed power. Perhaps the Schnee's have a natural ability to use theirs and it is not a semblance at all. And as we've seen Ozpin move as fast as Ruby with only Aura, it can be concluded that it is actually just Aura being Ruby's "semblance" meaning perhaps Silver-eyed warriors have no semblance, but each line of silver-eyed warriors have different powers, with the Schnee's having Glyphs, and the Rose's having an unknown set of powers.

The idea of the Schnees being disgraced is that for some reason, they use methods to hide their silver-eyedness from the people of the world (perhaps by contacts or dust). It would also make sense to why Mr. President Schnee doesn't want his daughters to be warriors, with it possibly exposing the Schnee's lack of defense of the world.
