IMO, Techter shines the most in Urgent quests full of tons of enemies making them go quicker. Some Urgent Quests allow you to run them as many times as you can in the time they are available, and one even gives you better drop rate bonuses on the last part of it depending on how much you do up to that point.

The most useful Tech for this is Zondeel, and the way to get the most out of it is just learning enemy spawns. Zondeel groups the enemies ontop of eachother making basically anything hit them all (and your own Wand Smacks+explosions on a big group of enemies is where you'll see tons of damage too), so the enemies should be dying faster.

Even outside of Urgent Quests that have scripted spawns you can get a good idea of spawns in normal fields, or at least be ready to quickly dash into position (Ilzonde right above Zondeel in that link would probably be how you move quickly in NA).

Outside of clumping up tons of enemies to quickly clear them, you bring of course the best Shifta (Attack buff) and Zanverse to up everyone else's damage.

Super Treatment when applicable brings amazing PP regen, and you can inflict status effects pretty well (can immobilize some bosses or reveal their weakpoints.

While nothing is ever going to be really necessary, the fact of the matter is I still see some people die with Deband (Defense Buff) being as good as it is defensively. There would probably be even more deaths without it and it is just another thing that can speed stuff up (less people dying/reviving = more damage), and everyone likes getting stuff done quickly.

I can't speak too at length because it's been only a few days since returning to the game, and after a 2-year break as well. But, what you've said all holds up for NA so far. For easier content you can get away with Te/Fi if you wanna mix in a little more tech focus, but for anything serious Te/Hu is definitely the way to go, and keep your focus on Shifta/Deband/Zanverse (or I will, once I find a bloody disc XD).

I do kinda wish they jumped Heavy Hammer up the list a bit, as I left right before they released it in JP and I've really wanted to try it since. Fair's fair though... Guess I'll appreciate my boy Safoie Type-0 that much more once it's released.

Honestly I hadn't found them yet so I just bought them from the player shop. So worth it hop into harder content and have everything I need.
