I will note that once raid tiers are no longer current, it does become easier to farm them for glamour purposes. I helped take some folks through E8S and E12S a couple of weeks ago, so that they could get some Edenchoir and Edenmorn glam they wanted; at this point, you can do E12S (the final Eden raid) without needing to see lions in phase 1, and finishing phase 2 before Intermediate Relativity. So to drag people through, you really only need to teach Junction: Shiva, Junction: Titan, and -- admittedly the sticking point for some 'let's get you some glamour' groups -- Basic Relativity.

For anyone who doesn't do savage, that basically translates to "the fight is a great deal shorter, and you can skip both of the mechanics that could turn into party finder memes when it was current."

So if you want the weapon, but are willing to wait some while -- probably into next expansion, admittedly -- it will eventually become possible to just roll in unsynched and sort of brute-force the fight for glamour purposes.

(Admittedly, I half-think that once a raid tier's expansion is past, they should open up the savage gear to be bought at inflated rates with the normal raid tokens. Then there'd still be a purpose to the stuff you sometimes end up with in your inventory after raid roulette. Want the Edenmorn fending top? Go run E12 normal and get like... 24 chest tokens, which could be used in place of 8 savage books. Once it's no longer a current tier, the gear's only purpose -- save for niche cases like BiS for certain ultimates -- is as glamour, so I feel like giving an easier path to get it wouldn't be terrible. But that's neither here nor there.)
