Gravity Dust would allow you essentially accomplish the same thing. I don't think having a semblance that is more or lest "something you can already do with Dust" is a problem.

For example, you could have a character who wears gravity Dust boots that allows them to stitch on the floor or make them levitate, giving them pretty much the same ability as another person whose semblance allows them alter their own weight/density. But compared to the semblance user, their boots will run out of the dust at some point, not to mention how much money getting those boots would cost, the money that the semblance user can use for other things.

In other words, having a "you can do the same with dust" semblance still useful for the person who has it, even though it's not the coolest one.
