This is exactly the kind of thinking we need. We've been blinded to possibilities like these because of dogma and tradition but maybe it's time to seriously explore alternatives.

Does anyone know any tech ecosystems/communities promoting a worker co-op model?

Always wish we talked more about Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), in the US. Maybe there is a startup idea in making this type of program easier to implement, like Stripe Atlas for employee ownership. Imagine, further, if our tax law incentivized this type of ownership structure instead of incentivizing dividends and capital gains.
