I am thinking three weapons will come to prominance,

Maces

Hand Axes

Cutlasses would come into vogue, or similiar short swords, or long dirks

Since all are cheap to make, easily controlled and carried and effective even for those who are not overly skilled.

spears ?

easy to make ,and easy to learn people the basics .

otherwise I am totally onboard with your analyzis.
