#4As explained in the article, postmodern family clans have a lot of (financial) benefits over single-couple families. But it would be very sad if financial reasons (such as expensive housing) would be what drives people to live in such clans.

Does something about this remind you of systemd?

#8Funnily the postmodern family clan looks quite similar to the old fashioned non-nuclear family:
The grandfather would have multiple children, which all live in the same household. Each of the marrying sons will bring their wives (and then children) to the main household. The whole family will help each other and the responsibility of children will be shared between everyone.

Well, postmodernism is about reverting the changes that illuminism and capitalism brought to the world and that are not working with society, so I feel it's totally fine to go back to more functioning structures.

Well, material limitations always determinated societal structures. I don't see why it should be different or more sad now.
