They said in a live letter months ago that the final form of the relics would alter skill animations, so it's fairly obvious they're intended to be a vanity thing to use as glamour once you're done. On top of that the very fact they've even discussed the 'final' form means they do plan for the current relic progression to end at some point soon.

It simply would not make sense for one weapon to be upgraded endlessly throughout the entire lifespan of the game as it would discourage new players from starting since they would never be able to catch up.
