Are there ANY complex economic systems that have been successfully "managed" at scale?

Depends on what you mean by 'managed'. We know centally managed economies spectacularly fail given enough time. We know that opaque financial entities implode. We din't yet know what the future holds for moderately regulated, mostly free market capitalism, except that the entire global economy has relied on it at great benefit the past 100 years or so. The fat lady has not yet sung.
