When picking the most optimal Ela loadout in Rainbow Six Siege, prep the site as using your primary gadget does not consume much time. So help your team out with wall reinforcements, site preparation like making rotations, lines of sight, footholes (when using FO-12), and placing Barbed wire or Bulletproof shields when using these particular secondary gadgets.

Once done, use your gadgets like traps and notify your team with intel. Additionally, if you plan to remain aggressive, try to stay within the visual range of your Grzmot mines so you can take advantage of the situation when an attacker gets disoriented.

Use Impact grenades whenever necessary to either create rotations or quickly escape from attackers. Additionally, use them to destroy attackers' traps. As a fragger, Ela shines thanks to her primary gadget which allows her to have an advantage when taking gunfights.
