No, as far as I know, GENOM MILARM's uniform standards have stayed the same for its entire history. White Legion troopers still look like OG Stormtroopers, and the various non-armored uniforms still look like their Imperial Navy equivalents.
I haven't seen the sequel trilogy, so I only know what their gear looks like from sort of cultural osmosis. I did toy with the idea of doing something with the clone armor from the prequels/Clone Wars, but I don't think I ever followed through, except for some of their equipment (the DC-17 blaster, for instance).
Rebel-style flight gear has also turned up in UF, but on civilian pilots, who probably picked it up as milsurp gear from some smaller force somewhere.

I don't know offhand what the UG Navy's uniforms looked like. When the outfit became the Federation Starfleet, they adopted the TOS-era uniform, spent some time circa 2390 in the bootie PJs uniforms from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and sometime later went from that to the two-piece version of the TNG uniform (circa season 3, when they changed from jumpsuits to jacket-and-pants combos but kept the same basic color scheme).
The Wrath of Khan-era uniform does exist in the UF universe, but Starfleet never had it there--it's used by the IP Space Force as a dress uniform. IPSF duty uniforms are also based on a design from Star Trek, namely the Starfleet uniform circa First Contact. International Police tactical and technical operatives resemble Star Trek: Enterprise-era Starfleet personnel, but their blue jumpsuit is more closely based on the one worn by Interpol support agents in Giant Robo.
As far as I know, I've never used the Discovery-era uniform in anything.. I hadn't watched any of that show until fairly recently, so I only knew it from STO, and it doesn't really look all that distinctive to my eye. It's just a slightly more elaborate iteration of the Enterprise-era boiler suit, which I'm guessing was probably on purpose.
