But my issue is that, I don't think that normal equipment is that interesting in play or narratively. If we found it interesting then I suspect that edges would work for us because the extra bookeeping would be sustained by the interest in the effect.

But these are items with a history. Its less an issue of whether they are enchanted, but that they are interesting in play, because using them invokes the history.
