This is just my guess but I would say that probably they wouldn't have a problem with technology as a whole. Alchemy is a pretty specific thing, dealing with altering or manipulating the Aetheric properties of matter. Generally your not going to get into cloning or raising the dead with the tech behind firearms.

Its worth noting that ingame quests seem to point towards Ala Mhigans not exactly having a particularly high opinion of Alchemy either and they were known for being a rather advanced nation before there collapse and occupation by Garlemald.
