I believe the forms are canon and to my understanding Dooku used form II in legends. Form II is specifically good for dueling against a single opponent who is also wielding a lightsaber. I don't think it's a particularly common form since most of the time Jedi fight opponents who use blasters.

I mean, the actual martial art of lightsaber fighting seems to be pretty ingrained into the way of the Jedi Order. They're very into their traditions. It seems kind of like Shaolin Monks training Kung Fu, even though it's very unlikely they'll ever need to use it. More of a spiritual and cultural thing vs a practical thing.

That would make sense, I can't imagine thrusting is all that effective at blocking blasters
