*Guarantee does not actually extend to reaching 100% critical hit rate. Guarantee is a lie and does not actually reflect the true chance of landing critical hits. Characters using killer weapons are statistically proven to be more likely to hit, crit, kill their opponents, and suffer from success. Using killer weapons may lead to side-effects such as leveling Skill and Speed, turning from red to blue, and acting like an edgelord. Do not use killer weapons if you have a preexisting condition, are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant. Conditions apply, results may vary.

So why, then, did Radiant Dawn insist on introducing Bronze weapons, and do they add any actual value to the game or are they just a waste of time, money and a weapon rank slot?

Not that big of a deal IMO.
With that said, the Somniel seems like a nice pared-down version of the Monastery. It doesn't seem like it will be as problematic as 3 Houses' Monastery, but only time will tell if it starts to wear on the playerbase as much as 3H did.

Discord: discord.gg/3zh5eCeM7CFire Emblems Most Pointless WeaponMythrilZenith2022-12-14 | Why does the Slim Sword exist? If it's to complete a set, there's no Slim Axe or Slim Bow. If it's for actual gameplay weight purposes, no sword-wielding unit gets weighed down by an iron sword. Truly it's just there as a joke, a trap, or a way to weaken units, like with Act 2 Prologue Elincia.
Want to support the channel directly? ko-fi.com/mythrilzenith36568The Weapon That Broke Fire EmblemMythrilZenith2022-12-13 | It warps the very game around it. The series would never be the same without it. Its power is undeniable by series veterans and newcomers alike. Its strength is so feared that even the developers have seen fit to nerf it into the ground on more than one occasion.
Yes, I'm talking about the humble Javelin, Fire Emblem's most game-warping weapon. The very existence of a cheap, easily-accessible, easy-to-use 1-2 range weapon usable on most units in the game means that any dedicated 2-range or 1-2 range specialist unit loses a niche, and any unit without access to a 1-2 range option becomes so much weaker by comparison.

However, these same dynamic elements are also one of its biggest downfalls, as not only can things you could never see coming screw you over and force you to reset the map, but the mental load of how to play these chapters can be incredibly taxing, especially for a brand new player.

Yes, over the last 28 days I put out 31 videos or live streams. And do you know what it got me? The same amount of growth I get in a period where I upload only 1-2 videos, modulated by a difference explainable by covering a brand new game announcement in one of the founding pillar series of this channel in the first place.
If this doesn't prove that in order to grow out of the sub-1k bubble you need someone bigger to notice you, I don't know what does.
