They lack culture, but lacking culture and being able to repair one's own ship or perform medical necessities are two different things. Once again, the original Macross or associated source materials never stated the Zents could not perform medical and/or other restoration feats.
Notable Zents like Exedore is possibly far more intelligent than humans, being the primary archivist and pretty much a walking computer. He is seen often trying to collect samples and analyzing the said specimen.
Creating new weapons notwithstanding, prior to meeting humans, the Zents had absolutely no need for new weapons and/or technology. The SDF Macross to them was nothing more than a gunboat, which they had many in possession equal in size and power. Even as far as variable vehicles go, it simply just wasn't popular amongst the Zents, who prefer powered armor and battle suits. Episode 4 in Macross F pretty much indicated that some weapons left from hundreds of years ago are still terribly potent, and perhaps even more powerful than their human counterparts. Therefore, what reason is there to create newer guns when old designs can get the job done?
