Sadly... that doesn't really track with Christianity.

I mean you can add the overall benefits of everyones needs are automatically met. There's no talk of toiling for food etc...

But on top of the automatic fact that angels clearly have a hierarchy, god is clearly a full power ruler, there's tons of verses that talk about people that will be the least in heaven, or greatest in heaven (Matthew 5:19). On top of building treasures in heaven (Matthew 6:19) etc...

Core spirituality vs institutional religious baggage

Sure if you count the holy book as institutional religious baggage. It's cool, I never thought of it exactly that way but it definitely is.
