Reskinning always feels like flavorless hand-me-down for me. (Though the practice is supported by the DMG even, with their example being a Holy Avenger flail.) Then again, many magic weapon effects are flavorless to begin with, so not a lot would be lost, but still.
Like a whip that is actually good but not an overpowered homebrew. But I agree. Just reskin whatever weapon you like
