CGI for the most part is a joke in itself, and not a necessary ingredient for an Evangelion adaptation.
I'll digress for just a moment; it really depends on which Evangelion story is being told. It goes without saying that any adaptation, especially one like this would need to be so impossibly condensed that much of the heart of the original would be lost (even Anno knew a series of films would be required for NME). Would a live action Evangelion encompass all the character drama and the case studies of the characters we all know and love, or will it be stripped down to focus on the Angel's war on humanity? Or perhaps something else entirely.
I would personally prefer that any adaptation attempt to keep the heart of the characters alive, rather than bedazzling us with the stunning realism of Eva versus Angel. For that, CGI would still be needed, yes, but hopefully sparingly; it would create a great opportunity to employ more practical effects, which I also prefer. Keep the Evangelions and Angels mysterious, and focus primarily on the character performance. Honestly, I'd rather just see a shitty, cheap budget film adaptation that kept Shinji alive rather than a big Hollywood blockbuster with Michael Bay-splosions. That is all.
