I'd say that rather than advancing, the three races used those 20 years to better integrate their technologies. So they did not advance as much as combined their exisiting tech in making new machines and ships (yeah, that can be called advancing). Plus that they had limited resurces, so maybe they were limited in the number of prototypes they could build (they could harvest resources from asteroids like in Knights of Sidonia, but it's not shown). I'd say that they 'refined' their tech, rather than 'advance' by a high margin, though it appears 'improved'.

I would speculate they had those all those ships and weapons from the moment they left. They are clearly running out of suplies, so I find it hard to believe they are able to gain new along the way by ways of mining. The one thing that changes was strategy. When they were leaving, they had no idea about Godzilla's shield. They could easily have all those high-tech weapons and still not hurt Godzilla before they left. But after learning about it's shield, they could properly use all they had left.

Did technology evolve in the 20 years humanity left Earth to Godzilla?
