Hell, I started DMM aigis, 1st 5 summons were 3 golds 2 silvers, and I used them just fine. 2 of said golds were pretty useless (for a newbie) btw: Momo (gold monk like Gina) and Leda (useful middle-late game for farming resources, but you can't use her early game)
in other words, the only useful summons I got out of my 1st 5 were yuyu (gold witch), silver VH free and silver bowrider Renarl. (or was it Runarl? well w/e.)

Getting Adele which is a good unit to have eventually is good enough, IMO. but w/e. it's your call.
Actually i dont have any black units or spica and i've did pretty well until now, why black units are so important? I mean cant we just do anything in the game without them? (a losers words at shrine :P ) for example there is a legend that a man with full silvers cleared the final battle, i think thats the more important thing than having a black unit clearing the map by only itself, i mean "challange". Is there any event or mission or daily map where a team of full silvers (all leveled up) cant clear it even when played carefully? Just any?

Also there is a user in the youtube called ethernal who made all the maps videos just using silver and very few gold units (not even bashira). After rolling 3 trash gold and 2 trash silver on my other account (same on the oldest) i've decided to stay with this one (which have adele) guess i'll make up the weak points with events and im guessing new event is coming at monday (just a guess cuz most of the other nutaku games events will finish at that time)

Like you said, it's his call to make. For me as an f2p, when I play a gacha game, at some point I'm starting to think "oh man, I sure wish I had a <insert highest rarity> unit". So might as well get one from the start.
I would do that if i didnt started to game at pirate event, got some sc, silver and gold unit at event which my other accounts wont have (at least in short term)
