Not in the least. A future where the baseline minimum isn't homelessness and suffering in the street simply has not been done before. Remove the need to struggle for a basic comfortable life, a new world has a chance to thrive. The past has the burden of dealing with the fact that the difference between a day-labourer and a wealthy elite is the former has to struggle to meet basic survival and participation in society is eliminated the the basic day-to-day is already met. Human nature will adjust, just like it did to the industrial revolution, to the digital revolution, and so on. Hundreds of thousands of data entry specialists were replaced by digital automation; even more land-laborers were replaced by farm automation. The difference with the future I want is that there is a guarantee of a good and basic living, whereas the past had no ability to guarantee this. Human nature doesn't enter into it; when anyone can travel anywhere, can replicate the same food or goods the wealthy elite currently enjoy exclusively, there is no practical separation between them. It becomes a non-issue; just like some years ago emoji were a status symbol (remember, you used to need to _pay_ for stupid emojis), they're a standard now. The world can be better, we see this everywhere even today with municipal and community efforts, with OSS, and so on. It's already here in many spheres, it's just a matter of accepting that there's no harm in a percentage of society taking advantage of such a system. The points you make have no relevance in a world where you don't need oil workers, arctic fisherman, day laborers, and so on.
