People change. Their needs change. Partners don't always change with them.

Why? Assuming everybody is OK with it, because choice matters, if my partner meets, say, my companionship needs and not my sexual needs, and vice versa, what's harmful about having partners that meet our sexual needs at the same time? This, fortunately, transcends the question of gender.

Because sexual jealousy is a natural emotion which can cause rivalry amongst males, dividing the state. I feel like this is the reason why most polyandrous societies either suffer from civil war (some tribes in tribal Nepal practice polyandry), inter-tribal rivalry (the Comanche) or are occupied by the enemy (Tibet). Sparta is the exception but literally everything in Sparta was about war.

Same thing with polygamy (although in that case I would advocate for triplechecking the "consenting" part. Or, you know what, let's do that for polyandry as well, to get one nice and clear rule in place)
