One important reason that Hiders can't do spacetime engineering is that it requires lots of energy to bend spacetime, and their technology would be detectable from great distances, either as ripples in the the metric or as waste heat.
But that doesn't necessarily rule out acquired metric technology- certain Hiders might be given technology by high toposophic benefactors, or find it hidden in deep space by long-vanished entities of various kinds. Metric technology created by an S:5 or S:6 might be powerful yet subtle, and practically undetectable except by entities of a similar level.
