Hey, if you want to gain traction before being able to add better art, mby it would be better to grab some illustrations of actual medieval equipment instead of AI? I think using AI would be counterproductive to what you want, as many people (me included tbh) are immediately scared off by it. I think I saw some nice museum open commons archive with medieval equipment. I could look it up and send it to you if you want?
Sorry, I don't get what you're asking here? Do you mean whether you should just delete the illustrations instead of using like publicly available illustrations for now? If you think that'd be best, then sure, go for it! My idea was just a proposal if you wanted to have some art there. I don't think it's absolutely necessary for a WIP game, so it can just wait for the art you decide works best!
