Jaunes sword may be mass produced, but it was still likely designed for use by a person using their aura.

In war times, you go full stop, got access to futuristic super weapons? use them. every soldier is 30 seconds away from superhuman powers? fucking do it.

That means, though Crocea Mors is an ordinary sword by the standards of other weapons in RWBY it is still a formidable tool.

A huntress can literally use a loaf of bread and it will function as a weapon, so the sword doesn't have to be made of special materials to hold up under normal use, but it doesn't hurt, especially when you want to do something that will put unusual levels of stress on it.
