surely the space of possible large-scale human social systems is so vast, and so pockmarked with local minima that its absurd to think there is a default, or two or three possible setups

It’s likely not that vast. Human character and motivations are pretty simple.
Are humans simple, or is your mental model of them simple?
Trying to reduce human character and motivations to something simple is essentially what modern microeconomic theory tried to do and it ends up having to hand-wave away so much real life behaviour that it started to call itself "prescriptive rather than descriptive".
