I'm not convinced. Yoking aurochs to draw the plow wasn't evil, was it?
WRT technology, keep in mind that the Heortlings have fairly good access to dwarven high-tech. Huge, primitive gear wheels won't offend the mostali too much IMO. Heck, they even exported industrial fertilizer to the Heortlings in earlier ages.
IMO the Heortling mills will have troubles following the wind. Only late medieval mills started to turn around to follow changes in wind direction. One early construction turned the entire mill around with a long beam...

It also has widespread access to sluggish but steady water power.
