Again what you are saying is it's ok for pilots to use technology to cover up their lack of skills ?
Very dangerous attitude to take as yes the technology makes life easy for all of us but it has a habit of letting you down at the worst moment!
I have been in this for long enough to tell you don't trust anything.

I have never said pilots should not use modern technology lucky you if you have an all singing and dancing machine BUT you have to be able to handle things when you loose that technology and not use the technology to cover up holes in flying ability especially IFR/IMC

I am sure you are a very competent guy but whatever limits you use in a steam driven 30 year old aircraft should be the same limits as you use in a 1 year old Gizmo machine.
If your going lower in the Gizmo machine then you are using (not you) technology to cover flying ability
