If it helps, bronze age thrusting swords are referred to as rapiers by historians/archaalogists, and they have about as much to do with Renaissance rapier as the arquebus has with an M-16.
And the rapier does show up in the hands of the occasional foppish nobleman in Conan stories. Likewise, the swordplay of the Fafhrd & Gray Mouser stories is told in very latter day fencing terms (Fritz Leiber was himself a fencer), so despite its early iron/bronze age tech, it has a very picaresque, swashbuckling feel.
So it's not really out of line for a rapier to show up in muscular, savage, bare chest, bare breast fantasy (otherwise known as "the best kind"). But like you, when the entire party becomes default dex fighters, it's tedious and stretches what I want from my fantasy tea party all out of shape.
Yes, that does in fact help. I will read up about. It might help me not be distracted and keep the suspension of disbelief (related to my magical tea party land)
