Future upgradable Legendary weapons?

What are the chances we can get a Falchion upgrade? I know Lucina and Marth don't really need the buff but Chrom and Alm definitely do. It doesn't have to be a big upgrade, something small like a +3 spd and renewal 3 effect while keeping the bonus dragon damage. What do you guys think?
Also what other weapons deserve an upgrade? I know Sieglinde definitely should've got one.

I think Parthia needs an upgrade. Warding Blow 2 for Jeorge is pretty unviable and maybe he can get something like +2 atk/spd and also negate bonuses against tomes. M!Corrin's Yato is also another candidate for refinery. Maybe turn the darting blow 2 into swift sparrow 2 and also gives +2 def/res. Parthia's name could stay the same, and Yato would turn into Omega Yato.

Ooo I like that idea for the Parthia but what if it had Warding Blow 3 and built-in Cancel Affinity instead? Or would that be to OP? I also like that idea for Corrin's Yato, It'll play similar to like it did in fates

Built-in Warding Blow 3 and Cancel Affinity would work well together as a good counter to raven mages and he'll still be able to tank their hits when initiating the attack. It would also make using iceberg/glacies more powerful on player phase. His B slot would also be open, leaving choices for skills like breaker skills, Guard, Desperation and even sweep skills.

Very high. I think this will happen in waves as the resources become more available (like how sacred coins have increases in availability).

In addition to the ones mentioned above sanaki's cymbeline (rally attack really?) could be upgraded to have a drive atk/spd ability to stay with that theme or buff to all stats like azura's axe.

Binding blade. The best weapon in its game got slapped with the ugly stick in feh. DC upgrade and further stat boost to our boy.

The askr trio are also needing a buff. Alf's sword needs an atk buff, sharena's lance could be turned into a siegmund/brave lucinas lance hybrid and anna well I don't know.

If i remember correctly the sword of seals did have DC, and res+5 or something along those lines, with a ridiculous migth that tore everything it touched.

I would say it's very likely it will happen, but not until the next big system upgrade comes around.
IS seems to be testing the waters with the weapon forging, otherwise i see no logic behind improving Sigmund but not Siglinde, for example.
So most likely they will continue to release new weapons for upgrade with the passage of time.

Also, there is precedent specifically for lucina and chrom's case, considering the awakened falchion you get near the end of the game.

You make a great point! Now I just wish that the Falchion was included in this update so we didn't have to wait. I mean c'mon 5 units use it! But then again it could've been way too big of a meta shift (lol not really cuz of The Reinhardt and THE ENEMY!)
I also forgot about the Awakened Falchion. I wonder how they'll incorparate that if at all.

Eckesachs
Restoring Distant Counter. This will free up his A-Slot skill for other useful A-Slot skills such as Steady Breath. Also has the full Threaten Def 3, which inflicts Def-5 on foes within 2 spaces away.

Binding Blade
Restoring Distant Counter. Same as above, but grants Roy Def/Res+6 regardless of where he's being attacked from, functioning as both Close and Distant Def in one.

In the vanilla game, these two weapons have the ability to attack and counterattack from distance. So I think it might be logical to assume the Distant Counter effect may be restored to these two weapons. If not, well, a brand new secondary effect is also welcome.
