I feel that's pretty dangerous without adequate adjustments in redistribution of wealth and other sociopolitical realities. The tradition from agrarian to industrial significantly depressed labor for quite some time, so I can't imagine what a transition from labor to non-labor would do for current civilization.

Those sociopolitical realities are only conjecture to the policy makers. They are never pro-active on these issues. The only way to get there is to force their hand.
Although I agree with you, we really need to put the economic frameworks in place as well. We'll eventually get to a fully-automated society, but our current model is already under stress from our current position. Getting there is going to take some serious change.
Most assuredly and it can't happen soon enough. We need to run headlong into automation, eliminating as many jobs as we can. The sooner we eliminate industries, the sooner we enter the post-labor era.
