Can you give any real examples where socially acceptable polyamory have caused social breakdown? I’d argue that serial monogamy is normalised and more of an issue

A very strong correlation between Polygamy.
Generally if men are denied the ability to reproduce they tend to become anti social. A large enough group of men become denied then society becomes unstable. Yes I agree men are not entitled to sex, but saying that and shaking your finger at them doesn't make them any less violent.
Also uneven sex ratios also produce this. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5983495/
Now yes the correlation is with multiple wives but I am not convinced the multiple husband will make up for that, for the simple fact that as men seek to have children they will transition to monogamous relationships in order to ensure any child they invest 18 years of time and money into are actually theirs.
