My analysis, weapon by weapon:

Crescent Rose takes a lot of fluidity and precision. Despite visual similarities to Nora and Neptune's weapons, I don't think either of them would manage the fast spinning style well enough. Nora might make it work, but in a completely different way than how Ruby uses it. I actually think Ren could use it decently, as he has the slight build and precision needed.

Myrtenaster is very dependant on the range of motion Weiss' semblance gives her, and also on the fact that her semblance has a physical manifestation she can channel the dust through. So there aren't many who could make it work. Ruby's semblance could let her be okay, but Myrtenaster just doesn't have the conservation of momentum to work for Ruby. Blake has short-distance mobility, so she might make it work.

Gambol Shroud is a very high-precision and specialized weapon. I think the only person who could manage all three forms of it would be Pyrrha. Her semblance would help her tremendously with controlling the chain form, and the dual weilding form would probably work well for her. To a degree, she could use the sheath similar to how she uses her shield, via throwing etc. The biggest adjustment for Pyrrha would be the lack of a purely defensive piece.

Ember Celica is sort of an odd duck. Good arm and leg strength would be required. I think Nora could make them sort of work, but the obvious choice would be Mercury. He and Yang fight similarly, just with extra power on their kicks/punches, respectively.
