If warlordism wins out, then warlordism is optimal. But seeing how our techno-productive social base doesn’t graft well to despotism I doubt reality will shift into this scenario, as reality tends to select for the most stable scenario that advances techno-productive elements

No. In order to have a free market, you need extremely complex legal machinary to have corporations, currency, monetary, and trade policy, then you have intellectual property, you need law enforcement to protect corporations, and to protect property from people who want it, etc.
