I would guess so.
It seems that at first, these MTs derived from a higher rung of technology have much greater battle performance than ACs themselves. But like you said, the main problem lies in their stagnant nature. Being unable to adapt, MTs would be limited by the current reigning technology at the time, while ACs had the freedom to grow in versatility and flexibility.
Let's take that Nineball MT from the end of Nexus as an example.
Yeah, it can fly forever, and fire a whole barrage of energy weapons without fail. Big deal. You managed to get through it by attacking its weakness, to which it had no solution.
Or how about that giant MT from AC3? While it had clearly superior strength, it fared not too well against the mobility of a smaller and lighter AC.
