Well.......One of the things I want to avoid here is anachronisms. Not in the sense of stuff that would not have been around in the 1980s, but in the sense of 1980s stuff that would seem clunky and outmoded today. So, sure, smartphones. Flatscreen TVs. Modern cars. Fashions. The Danger Room? Well, to be honest, I'm not a fan of the Danger Room. The idea that Xavier would LITERALLY place his students in mortal danger just in the way of TRAINING them? Eep! So, if the DR turns up, it will probably be a lot less in the form of "crazy death machines". (This, of course, would be another element that would drive a certain kind of potential readers nutz, as they try to cross reference everything from the Eighties with ELSEWHEN.)
