Setting With Regards to Canon
My personal opinion is that having the reboot set to Post Season 9 but Pre Mane 6 is the best option, since it would allow for an increase of rank with regards to Twilight Sparkle and the other Elements with regards to Canterlot culture as a Princess Elect, but it wouldn't push Luna and Celestia out of the picture, since both characters form the foundation of Equestrian Lore.

Some things such as Season 7 does complicate Equestria's history a little bit, but it shouldn't be too much trouble to revise the RP/Starswirl to accomidate that.

Setting With Regards to Technology
I think we should try and keep technology slightly more moderated than we have currently, with a bit more focus on magic than tech. Hardlight and Cybernetics seem a little heavy, but using magic or some kind of magitech to drive the latter seems a bit more reasonable. Focus on Modern Era or Modern Era+ as in Avengers or DC, anything higher than that should probably be left for villians, and even then still fairly moderate if we can. Ocean ending potions should be major plot devices more than something that can easily be found.

Setting with Regards to Magic
I think magic is in a fairly good place currently, with almost all characters falling clearly below Twilight Sparkle with regards to magical potency, and the Princesses being a clear cut above the rest. There's exceptions of course, but those can be managed. It may be fun to explore some of the other magics introduced later in the show such as the hippogriffs and dragons, and artifacts, since those all serve as other plot hooks for some really nice world building, and would also tie elements back into canon, looking at you ommisphere.
