Pretty sure health problems, debt, and shelter are universal problems that you'll find in every society since the dawn of civilization. I've yet to see evidence that these problems can be solved at scale, for every person. So unless you can solve these timeless, hard problems at scale for everyone (which I don't think you can), then we're DEFINITELY a post-scarcity society.

this seems more of an argument that a post-scarcity society is impossible than an argument that we are already in one!

It is impossible because basic needs are a moving target.
