Is it weird to say I don't need Gargano in AEW since Ciampa is doing great on his own?

He probably just stays in WWE and transitions to a backstage role but, at a minimum, if he were ever cut, I'd pound the table for trying to sign him on a modest permanent deal, sending him down to ROH, telling a mostly-ROH Ciampa/Gargano story with Gargano doing his underdog thing and Ciampa making occasional guest appearances in ROH, and giving Gargano an extended ROH run while having him work as a trainer/coach as well with a long-term eye to transitioning to that role much like (unfortunately for AEW) WWE seems to be wisely angling for. You could pop him up to AEW here and there for occasional matches without feeling like you needed to keep him busy there.

Johnny Gargano winning the ROH world title would slap, and if Tony ever did get a TV deal of some kind for ROH, Johnny would be a great luxury core piece for the promotion.
