How useful is Elementary OS for people who are more familiar with technology and things like Ubuntu? Would I be able to install Nvidia drivers and CUDA, build my own ffmpeg binaries, etc? or is it more aimed at installing on machines for non-technical people?

Elementary OS is Ubuntu LTS. You can do what you'd do on Ubuntu just fine. (I use it exclusively for technical work, for example.)
