Grails are to make your favorites stronger, and they are super limited (a total of 21 in the next two years) so you shouldn't use them on somebody just because you happen to get them to NP5. Save them up for when you do get a waifu.

As far as Lancelot's viability in late game, well, every Servant is usable, but some are amazing and others are... lackluster. Lancelot falls very firmly into the later group. He is, to be frank, pretty bad. Without a doubt he is the worst of the gold Berserkers. If you want to build a Buster crit team centered entirely on him, that is doable. But the only thing he really has going for him is his ability to farm. You have a perfect Servant for farming dailies, and if you happen to get a Kaleidoscope he will be absolutely set to excel at that purpose. Otherwise, though... Lancelot's kit is devoted to using crit stars, but he has absolutely no way to get crit stars without his NP, and he has some of the absolute worst NP gen in the entire game. He has no damage buffs on his skills, so he can't hit anything as good as his competitors, he doesn't have any great gimmicks like Herc's immortality, and even within his niche of farming, literally any other AoE Berserker can do just as well if not better.
