The thing that irks me the most is that I will get these cool looking gears but doesnt look like it once you equip it.

Those are 2 different things really but neither are completely changing in 1.2. The engine upgrade is a new version of unity that for example will, amung other things, let us leverage some more modern technologies like DLSS and FSR. This will eventually increase the graphical fidelity of the game for anyone using a video card that can use these (pretty common at this point).

As for the 3D models of unique body armour being representative of 2D artwork, we add new 3D unique models every patch but we can make new unique items faster than we make the models so it's a very slow battle. We are working on some new tech to make the process of skinning unique armour models to various character body types faster and better. Still a ways out though.
