The existence of weapons that can hurt angels is actual necisarry, because Maze already had to have used one to cut off Lucifer's wings.

I personally think that Maze wasn't going to really hurt Amenadiel, but she wanted to test if her knives could actually cut him. Like she was just going to make a little cut to see if they worked. If they were forged in hell for the express purpose of cutting off Luci's wings when he go to Earth, their effectiveness in any other situation is entirely hypothetical.

I'd think that unless the rebellion was fisticuffs and strong words, there already were weapons.

Is shtupping the devil a mortal sin?

Probably no. And did you mean mortal or eternal? Criteria for mortal:

Its subject must be a grave (or serious) matter.
It must be committed with full knowledge, both of the sin and of the gravity of the offense.
It must be committed with deliberate and complete consent, enough for it to have been a personal decision to commit the sin.

Second and third don't apply as she didn't have knowledge he was lucifer and it was shown that she didn't have complete consent as she was other his influence.
