a space elevator for ~~nukes~~ payloads will probably come before mechs and that makes me sad

A space elevator (on Earth) is pretty unfeasible. Mechs are much more likely.

Not really the alloys for the elevator will be the mech armor joints etc. You need something like that or you mech is just canon fodder
