If everybody has all they want all the time, then there will be no incentive to work (except for the fun jobs, of course), which means production will stop and now we’re back to scarcity.
Maybe this could work if we develop robots that can do all the work. Just make sure they’re incapable of resenting their status or we all die in the Robot Apocalypse. Of course, even if the robots don’t revolt, it can still lead to disaster. Read Asimov’s “The Naked Sky” and “The Robots of Dawn” for a vision of where an all leisure-via-robots society can end up.
