Do tech/STEM focused MBAs help transition into product or technical product roles in the industry?
And do consultants exit to any industry or just ones they have done engagements in?

In my experience as long as you can reposition yourself right, nothing matters. Focus on showing off the transferable skills and you’re good. If you’re looking to do a MBA just to get into tech, I’d advise against it though.
