Spoiler:

Unless it stops now, the whole series will not be Charis vs Church.

But they certainly shouldn't need 1000 years to get to a high tech base. They are, after all, starting out with a large, educated population with mid Victorian steam technology. And a massive amount of science and tech data. Fifty years should do it, IMO.

Thanks. If the series picks up steam as some hope, maybe I'll give it another shot.
