Well Laxus is close to Gildart's level. As Jura is close and Laxus beat him barely. And Jura was ranked only the 5th Saint. If all the Spriggans are at least comparable to God Serena or surpassing him, than Gildarts wouldn't be overall that much help to the war. Or maybe he will come later in the war.
