There are IMO only two types of society which are working adequately at scale: the Western one and the Chinese one. Others may exist but they are unproven at such scales and for such long periods.
Funny you should mention matriarchy. Western society is quite rapidly evolving toward a matriarchy I think. Not sure it's all good but nobody can stop this evolution.

I agree on several levels. The current western social stack has evolved till here in this way because of historical reasons and some barbaric treats of human nature. In facts, it is very efficient but only for some. Elitist.
Many things have changed though and now IMO it's no more the best we can do.
Matriarchy: I agree. We are going there and I welcome the idea for most of women have high emotional intelligence.
Unfortunately we are increasing the amount of superstructures, consequently more overhead, more institutions, more laws. Far less freedom. I wish for a change in direction: less rules and less authorities. This must go along with "increased culture" and deeper understanding.
About Chinese culture: I know little about it. What do you think should be taken from it? What's positive?
