Well, integrating all our best knowledge of social sciences for SciFi is hard. I am not sure if I can judge if it was successful or not in most cases. What I can point out instead is a couple of works where something like this had been attempted, as the author gave serious thought on how different technology and environment would affect society:
Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds In these books a lot of different social structures are listed that are possible due to technology, such as the Democratic Anarchism (quoting from the wiki): ”The Demarchy functioned by means of a neural implant that constantly sought the user’s opinion on aspects of Demarchist life. This constant prompting eventually faded away into the user’s neural background, much like the ticking of a clock might fade away into background noise. ... Each core was tasked with collecting and processing votes, and also determining whether or not the elected decision was the best one in previous elections—voters who continually made “good” decisions were rewarded by having their vote count for more than one standard vote.” The second book (“Chasm City”) also elaborates on how the crew of a small fleet of multi-generational interstellar ships would live and be organized until they reach their destination in the not-so-far future (so without neural links and magic gadgets).
We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor. This one is less rigorous on the “hard” part than the previous two. I really like some ideas, such as if human minds can be uploaded and multiplied, we would could end up a whole industry being operated by the copies of a single expert.

Moon Is A Harsh Mistress by Heinlein
I think the elaboration on how family structure is changed due to low female:male ratio and dangerous environment makes sense ( https://www.reddit.com/r/AskScienceFiction/comments/214z3t/the_moon_is_a_harsh_mistress_how_do_line/ ), and the book contains a lot of good thought on other things like this.
