I live in New Zealand and most of what you say already exists. Yet we still have all the normal social ills. So I think that's proof you're wrong. > If everyone needed to expend less and less of their day working as things got more efficient We have that! Get an unskilled part time job and the government will give you a bit extra to pay the rent, and even more to support your children, etc. They'll also actively help you find work if you're unemployed. To remain unemployed here, you have to really put an effort in if you're not disabled. Personally, I have fairly high value skills and only use them part time, so I'm living your utopia. Most people with high earning capacity choose to earn more though. So the big problem for you is how do you limit the efforts of ambitious people to enforce this easy life on them?
