Well, I’d say that would depend on how rare magic users who can do healing magic are. If people can’t trust they can get a healer who can do more than take aches away (without healing the cause), they would try to improve the tech.
That said, if the magic is powered by people’s curiosity to the degree that there simply isn’t enough of it going around to spend on anything else, I could see it causing technological stagnation. But that’d be such an incredibly specific setup that the story better focus on it.

I can justify it that while there have been some minor conflicts brewing here and there, they were swiftly taken care of, and those conflicts were used as bases to further refine laws and regulations to ensure no similar problems happen in the future. Yes, another different kind of conflict may ensue, and a different method may be used to ensure the least amount of bloodshed, but at least the overall peace is maintained.
Yeah that makes sense but typically that can go for like, a hundred years tops.
