I sometimes imagine guys like Autechre or even Squarepusher doing an OST for a scifi anime. I'd listent to an Autechre track and think hmm this would sound cool in a night time academy city setting. I just think if they did one it'd turn out really interesting and quite a soundtrack. It's like my farfetched dream, that'll never come true because they don't do anime ost and they're UK acts, but I can always fantasize about.
As for Iuchi Maiko's soundtracks (for the toaru series), I'm kind of neutral on it. I've never though of them as bad or out of place, but I've never really thought of them as outstanding and perfect either. There are many tracks I like and felt were used well in the shows, so as long as she does some interesting tracks that properly reflect the content being animated then I'm alright.
And it's true that a soundtrack doesn't need to be 100% techno or electronic music to fit a futuristic/modern urban environment. The most recent example I can think of is K's ost which I though did a very good job of capturing the city feel.
