Well, Erza's armours and weapons are actually part of her magic (Requip: The Knight), so there's really no point in arguing that she would be useless without them. I mean, Mirajane would be "useless" too, if she did't have her transformations. ANY character in Fairy Tail would be useless/really weak without their magic. Ezra's magic gives her access to weapons and armour, just like Mirajane's magic gives her access to demonic transformations. Although it seems a bit mundane compared to Mirajane's demonic explosion beams, Erza's requip magic is still a legitimate and useful form of magic. Erza will always have a weapon at hand, because it's her magical power/ability.
