I believe I understand what you're saying. I'm curious though, how would that correlate with loneliness? Loneliness arises from the gap between one's desired connections vs one's actual connections. It is true that social class is a barrier and less mixing leads to less dynamism in society. This is a themed explored in Tyler Cowen's "The Complacent Class". But it seems to me that does not in itself produce loneliness, because there's still a tremendous number of connections made within the same social classes. My working class friends are the least lonely people I know. They seem to have tons of buddies and tend not to be that selective when it comes to making friends. But except in specific instances, they have no explicit desire to make connections across classes. I see inequality being a problem in general, but just not with respect to the specific topic of loneliness. It seems to me there's something else at play.
