One could argue that guaranteed livable wages have only become important because of the pace of change of the employment landscape.

I'd argue that the other way around. Once you have a 'guaranteed liveable wage' you have reshaped the 'employment landscape' to permanently exclude anyone who's labour is worth less than that wage. You now need a welfare state to prevent those people starving to death.
