If only society had a structure like that, for taking care of things that need to be done for the benefit of everyone.

I think it's a very different problem than what welfare usually solves for us. Paying a doctor to treat patients is different from paying someone to build an MRI machine. We don't pay individual engineers there.

So I don't think solving such complex problems within a welfare system is a solved problem at all.

In Sweden we pride ourselves in health care for everyone. But we are quite bad at buying software systems for our welfare institutions.
