1) Grimm have no organs, do not bleed, and do not need to eat to survive. They are not animals, they are magical eldritch creatures, remember? And those creatures want to kill people as much as possible.

So keeping a Grimm alive and in captivity only leads to one of two things: The Grimm tries to kill people, or the Grimm dies off on it's own even if you manage to keep it from killing people. How or why, no one knows, they just do. And it must be in captivity because otherwise your entire idea is impossible.

2) Harvesting their body parts requires: First of all, that the Grimm is prevented from killing people while doing so, which should be incredibly difficult for people from ancient times with not even half the tech Remnant currently has, especially things like Lancers and Deathstalkers. Even in modern times it's implied to be difficult.

Second of all, the Grimm must remain alive all that time, and read point 1 for that. And third of all, the body part must grow back. Since these aren't normal animals in terms of biology, that has quite the question mark.

And of course, the people must be able to remove that part to begin with. Considering the amount of damage some of them can take from modern weapons wielded by beginner warriors, what makes you think people from ancient times could've even removed part of a DS's shell, for example? And don't add Dust into the equation, because the question is if they could remove a body part, not reduce it to ashes.

3) Why bother doing something as suicidal as keeping a Grimm alive to try to harvest it's parts, when you could just take them off a normal animal? Hell, why bother at all taking stuff from an animal when you can just grab a Dust Crystal, cut it a bit, and boom: There's your spear or arrowhead or whatever.
