The first bullet point says you keep skill and save proficiencies, but doesn't mention weapons.

 

However, the 4th point says you retain everything if your new form is physically capable of "doing so".

 

If you rule that an ape is physically capable of wielding a staff or club, then you would retain your proficiency.

I think its more likely RAI that they simply never considered that weapon or tool proficiencies would come into play for beasts.

A gorilla? Maybe, I assume DM call. Note that you retain YOUR Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores while in beast form. So you know how to smack someone with a club.

You retain skill and save proficiencies.....   I don't think that means you also retain weapon proficiencies...... does it?
