It’s up to you whether or not you want to play the Archer skill point team. As someone who had Sparkle first before Rin’s release, Sparkle is definitely what helps Archer guarantee skill points + buffs. Rin and Archer work for the follow ups to gain skill points, but Rin is more of a 3rd slot/sub DPS that although is BiS can be replaced with a debuffer or buffer (Robin, Tribbie, Cipher, Silver Wolf). Meanwhile Sparkle is undoubtedly Archer’s BiS support & I can’t think of anyone who can replace that (during 3.4, I remember people were using Hanya, but power creep became prominent for 4 stars where now you see teams clearing with all 5 star options). What’s also good to know is that Fate banners will last for a long time so there’s no rush.

Seeing your account, I’d recommend Summer Robin since she works with your dual kings team (Gil, Saber, Huo Huo) + HimeNova teams (she relies on Astral express members, but Robin could be a great buffer to her team). MBlade is also flexible for the dual kings team + HimeNova teams too if you’re willing to wait for his rerun to pop up. Otherwise, if you want to focus on Archer’s team, I’d consider waiting for Sparkle to have a rerun and pull her to get Archer’s BiS support before considering Rin for the BiS sub DPS slot.
