also what do you mean with "limitations of a Monk - having to touch things. " i dont think ive ever seen/heard that sort of thing come up if anything unarmed is usually more nichely advantageous cause it cant be taken away from you.
There are more than a few spells/abilities that punish 5ft reach and/or unarmed strikes. Reach weapons are everywhere and bypass this sort of thing.
It's more niche, but unarmed also can't benefit from energy mutagen which is another damage loss and missed energy type for monks vs other martials
i wont disagree that weapons have their advantages too. but its not like im saying monk weapons should be free to use, i just dont think it should take 2 class feats to use ancestry weapons on monk, i would prefer if that was just rolled into the base monastic weaponry feat as a special clause like
Special: if you have a feat that grants you access to all weapons with an ancestry trait, then For you, melee weapons with that ancestry trait and either the agile or finesse trait gain the monk trait.
