"Another thing I thought about is that with Kung Fu it seems like you start weapons training fairly early on."

Can you tell me which kung fu club? from my experience is that you do not get to use any weapons until you are a high grade or a seihing (senior member of the club). This can take years. It took me over 4 years of praticing kung fu before I was allowed to even try weapons such as the staff let alone using broad sword or gim.

When using weapons in kung fu it relys on great balance and posture, you are required to do complicated high and low swift movements and you can not do any of that without knowing the basics very well and that will take a long long long time.

In answering Jenny's question, no I find it too hard to juggle work, social life and kendo. Adding another matial arts will be very difficult (maybe I have not been able to find a decent kung fu club).
