Not as long as you think, given that epic quests will be added steadily. Granted, raid weapons aren't end-game quality either, but they are still better than these SR guns if you ask me.

God knows how many of those 30 upcoming event weapons are assault/defender dual skill.
The SSR weapons don't have to be dual-skill to be worth replacing those SR guns - a typical non-FLB-able raid weapon has 16% assault vs just 10% from the gun, the extra stats from the SSR and 6% extra assault can easily be worth more than 10% defender you're losing out. Defender is important, but you don't want to sacrifice too much assault and raw stats to get it.

IDK about others, but I still have MSLvd lb0 thanatos & nepthys hammer in my dark grid because I skipped a lot of event, those are weaker statwise compared to servant shark and only better by 6% modifier, so, I use them together with servant sharks.
LB0 hime weapons are fillers, just like those SR weapons. Usually ppl only put them in for specific skills like defender or exceed and kick them as soon as something better comes along (or brick them if they're good after FLB.) Also, 6% assault at 100% assault is 3% extra dmg, so unless the stats loss is more than 3%, your LB0 hime weapons might actually be better than the SR - say you lose 500 atk, your base atk needs to be as low as 16k-ish for the extra stats to be worth more than the assault.

Also, these guns are one time thing, the rest are not. I'd forget about those 6000orbs in a month. Cheels.
I mean, you're free to do as you wish, but it is extremely unlikely that you'll farm 6k orbs in a month even if you do every single standard and expert raid everyday unless they boosted the eido drop rates, but I haven't noticed such boost. Might be possible if you do every ult on top of that, I haven't tested the eido drop rates for ults, but if you're at the point where you can solo all ults, you're probably looking to retire all your SR weapons asap anyway.
