I think you made some good points, but what I would like to point out is that, even if hierarchy was completely inevitable in some context, we should still struggle to get a just kind of hiearchy.

(A part of) the world already did some good progress on this front with the gradual switch from absolute monarchies to democracies, and I hope it will eventually be able to continue on the path towards a more just world.

That I can agree with. I mean, hierarchy solves problems, therefore is useful. Having a fair world for everyone is a goal, so adjusting hierarchies to help reach that goal is something we should work on.
