How does the answer being "it depends" imply you should be an anarchist?

There’s no system quite as flexible as anarchy ;)
In all seriousness, the contextually relevant factors tend to be local details. Anarchy embraces the idea that people closest to and most impacted by the issues should be more involved in determining how those issues are dealt with

This doesn't sound sustainable. People will inevitably organize for defense and fiat because a few bad actors can do too much damage and barter is too inefficient.

Anarchists also organize into affinity groups. Not all anarchists are anti-market. Anti capitalist !== anti market

That doesn't work. People locally will decide that people far away should pay the costs while locals reap the rewards.
People upriver will use all of the water.
People in fertile, temperate, not low lying areas will be affected less by climate change and burning fossil fuels.
If the wind blows east, people to the west won't care about smog until made to care by force.
And so on.

Most people are not communist or libertarian but selectively socialist/liassez faire depending on the domain. Which is why almost all politicians end up seeming hypocritical, people don’t hold principled positions but practical ones based their own value judgements.
“The right answer” almost always turns out to be “it depends” (just like any good engineer would say) which is btw why I, like Graeber, would self-identify more anarchist than social democrat or communist.
