When you say fast do you mean like Kevin Hart fast...

Eden was better than anything T'Challa had prior to Aarons Avengers run. The Nowhere Room from Doom War really only worked for Deadpool because it messed up the person it was teleporting physically and mentally. And the teleportation tech he had in NA was OKAY... but if Eden was with Shuri and T'Challa when they attempted to steal the bombs in Necropolis, I'll wager Shuri probably wouldn't have died. He could have teleported them away 3 seconds after the Cabal showed up ... or quite possibly have teleported the Cabal away. In combat situations he was functioally more useful.
Aarons tech using the Celestial in Avengers as far as I can tell has no draw backs... so by that point you can argue Eden serves no purpose. Obviously he's not in Aarons Avengers book.
What are you talking about?
The characterization and depth Coates has brought to Eden really humanized him and made his own, stand alone character that everyone cares about. I'm glad we've gotten 3+ years worth of stories of the Adventures of Eden and can't wait for more. He is just so damn interesting! His character arc is insane... from uber to banging a princess. That should be an MCU movie right there. Eden: The Glow Up.

That would mean the next writer of a BP solo(hmmm....) would have to reference and use said technology.
But when you're country has turned into one of those s-hole nations, who has time to think of technology(while living in the most advanced technological country on Earth)?
It's too much! It's just too much!!!
BP writers do seem to have a bad knack for not using tech and gear the previous writer incorporated. Hudlin stopped regularly using a lot of the gear Priest made standard (I think he used the energy daggers like once). Shadow Physics and the Nowhere room vanished after Maeberrys run (though in Liss cas he actually had a good reason not to incorporate Wakandan tech). And most of Hickmans stuff (teleportation, force field, cloaking device) stopped being used after Hickman.
I will say that Hickman was pretty lazy about incorporating new tech though. He didn't give it a name or bother explaining what it is... he just threw it out there. I think that's one of the reasons why Priest stuff is still around today... and why I believe some of Coates gear upgrades will stick around when he's gone. If you go through the trouble of naming it and explaining it, it'll more likley leave an impression. Course it doesn't always work that way... see Shadow Physics.
I'll wager a lot of Aarons tech stuff probably won't stick around for the same reason. He's throwing it out there for one time usage rather than giving it a name and using it regularly. It's okay for tech feats, but not legit world building.

One thing I'm really interested to see with Ross is how America (and the West as a whole) will play into the BP franchise going forward. Coogler's biggest influence is Priest and he didn't shy away from showing America's imperialist ambitions and paranoia with regards to Wakanda. Neither did Hudlin, who's also a big influence. Hell even now America's in a rough spot with the Avengers since T'Challa is leading them with the full resources of the kingdom at their disposal.
We saw a bit of this in BP when Ross was on the mission in South Korea to purchase the vibranium Klaw had stolen. And the whole issue of bringing him to Wakanda to save his life. But will America's response to T'Challa be as antagonistic as it's been in the comics? I don't know if Disney is gonna wanna show America in such a negative light. They might settle for some kind of proxy, like a handful of politicians against the kingdom rather than the entire government. Or they'll ignore that aspect entirely.
But if they wanna focus on the global response to Wakanda and follow up on the concerns floated in the first film, that's definitely a plot point to explore.
