Which certain one?

With the lack of information provided by the movie, I think few of us can give you clear, definitive answers. But we do know that some mobile suits, like GRM Gundam and 00 Qan[T] (possibly) could have been possibly upgraded thanks to the ELS. At least we do know that given the ELS-infected GRM was allocated a different model number, it is technologically different from the original one.

Besides, ELS are sentient beings. After making peace with humans, both races could have found bizarre ways to incorporate their technologies to strengthen each other's suits. This is especially true for the Sakibure; a ELS-controlled unit is created that is distinct from that of typical GN drive suits. This I think suffice as a point that ELS technology is helpful and ESF acquired/shared it to their advantage.

It could in theory I suppose, but whether such is actually being practiced is very unlikely. The thing is humanity pretty much disarmed by the Epilogue, things of wars sort of became rare collectors items depicted by 00N, and no more mobile weapons exists. The Sakibure is officially classified as a Workloder even if it is powerful in a sense.

The disarmament process began as soon as the movie ended, where the ESF decided to continue disarming the army (something they started to do even before the movie started) after analyzing the lifeform geographical data provided by the ELS which shows the probability of another civilization intercepting Earth to be essentially zero.

But even though its not being used in mobile weapons, there's likely a lot of things the ELS can help out in terms of technological improvements in other stuff/areas.

That said, if humanity and the ELS come under attack, the ELS could just morph into mobile suits to protect themselves and the humans. But all things considered, at this point humanity would likely attempt communication before war.

What technology is being shared by the ELS exactly? He mobile suits they become are not machines are they? I thought the ELS GN-X flying around in the movie are the ELS themselves (ie living beings, not machine/technology)?

The ELS are morphers/shapeshifters, they simply changed form into the GN-XIV's and started pew pewing, they are sitll .. the same being, in the shape of a GN-XIV

Its more like the ELS "become" technology themselves. They are metallic shapeshifters but they also become ships, space stations, mobile suits and the like. Its more like they shift their shapes to become exactly like the machines but they're still alive and sentient. The seperation of machines and life that we are used to seem to be different for the ELS as they have the ability to morph into machines as they see fit.

But the ELS do possess technology though, and technology is more the knowledge of machines to put it in a simple way. Humans can still learn a lot from them. They possess the ability to developed things, as they developed their own Solar Energy System on their home planet prior to it being sun expanding before becoming cold. They also have assimilated many civilizations before, who have likely developed their own technology and likely possess data on many of them as they can probably just shift into them so a lot can be learned. Humanity can likely learn many new things by studying the ELS' forms that they took somewhere else or even made themselves. They're literally what their assigned name is, shapeshifting living metal. The difference with humanity machines is that the materials they are made off...........well they're not alive.
