I would say that the Chief God would have to be totally stupid to suppress advanced technology. After all IRL the only thing going for humans is our big brains and this is far more so for MGE. Monsters totally outclass humans so creating tech to counter them would only make sense.

Not only that, but the Order is obviously losing. After all if one of the largest Order states can fall in one day that shows how outclassed they are. Even if they were very conservative, and it seems that they are, there is nothing like a fight for survival to abandon old beliefs. I think that it is far more likely that there are a few pockets of advanced magiteck that are closely guarded secrets and are not shared for fear of losing the advantage.
