Eugenicism aside, technocratic socialist thought is very frustrating because on one hand you have someone who cares on some level, but they completely misunderstand the flaws of capitalism in a way that is dangerous. Unequal distribution of resources, surplus value, is the point, not an anomaly. The bourgeois elements of society would start a fascist revolution if somehow we made capitalism egalitarian. The last thing socialists need to think about is technocratic solutions to capitalism. It assumes too much good faith in the bourgeoisie besides being often technically incorrect (not to be sectarian but I struggle to read anything by so-called neo-Ricardians for example).

TBH, I went from technocratic socialism to ordinary socialism precisely because I realized that bourgeoisie would do everything to stop any egalitarian reforms.
