To give at least one writer in ST credit they had worked a little that way, I remember something along the lines of Romulans swapping cloaks for Klingon engines. It is very tricky to make a sustained story where one side is massively out teched, ohh sure short stories or one offs (The B5 stuff in the EA-Minbari war for instance) but for a whole string of series its hard work.

You can have different tech areas being superior yet still have a balanced scheme I mean for example if you have one race with excellent weaponry yet slow ships a race with inferior weaponry yet much faster ships could outmaneuver them and strafe and the like.
Now there are also areas like personal weapons, armor shields yadda yadda that could all be different yet have balanced out effects.
And it's much better then every race having the exact same power weapons and the exact same shield outputs lol
