TBF, Harry was on a secret recon mission for the majority of Book 7, which the twins more or less knew about and supported as best they could. They provided intelligence which is absolutely crucial to any resistance effort, and answered the call to fight as soon as they were needed.
True, but if we’re assigning roles via broad strokes as a proportion of their contributions, Fred and George were propagandists/saboteurs/etc. and Harry ‘n’ Co. were direct action.
Doing a quick propaganda as a trigger-puller doesn’t mean you’re now a propagandist, nor does doing a quick gunshot mean you’re now a fighter.
Again, Fred and George were vital elements, but (90%) Support is not more important than Fighting.
Well yeah, sure. But only because they didnt have the information to act on that the trio did. Had they been looped in, they’d have been right there. I’m not saying that they didnt primarily act as support. I’m saying that had they been offered the opportunity to be on the front lines with an actual mission like Harry, Hermione and Ron had, they wouldnt have hesitated. I think that would have been to the detriment of the overall cause in the end though, given the role they did take up was pretty damn useful and about as vital a role as they could have served under the circumstances.
Obviously none of that is to detract from the accomplishments and heroism of the Trio either.
I really don’t know if what you state is accurate because I don’t recall from reading the books or watching the movies, so I can’t really comment on your prediction, and honestly we’re so far off-topic I’m barely interested in developing an opinion on it.
I just generally disagree with “Fred and George were better contributors to the resistance than the Trio,” for reasons stated above.

Oh, that wasn’t my argument at all. Definitely agree.
