[Fullmetal Alchemist] Amestris exhibited a level of technology comparable to late 19th or early 20th century Europe that co-existed comfortably alongside the science of Alchemy. What do things look like once they reach a 21st Century level of advancement and how is Alchemy regarded then?

Probably not a lot different to our 21st century tech. Do notice that very little of Amestris technology effectively employs the use of Alchemy, and Alchemists are relatively rare. Most Alchemy processes require active participation of an Alchemist, so that really rules out its full use in mass production, which was one of the key factors of the cultural and economical shift of the 20th century. Unless there is some significant discovery that allows to harness Alchemy within everyday tech for the common man at an approachable price, it will likely continue the same as you see in the show: just newer technology with alchemy being used alongside it.
