From the article you linked, “the Zapatistas have rejected and defied political classification.” I think they main issue is that they have a deep indigenous tradition outside of socialist anarchism, although they have clear intersections of thought.
Intentional community development is one of my projects right now, so I appreciate the reference!
I think what you’re describing is something better than anarchism because it has a lot less historical violent baggage associated with it and probably deserves a new name. It might get one if it grew enough. It would probably still involve hierarchies based on consensus and clear limits on scope and time. More arrangements like these would do a lot of good, and I hope we get more of them!
