I suggest that the social utility of RV is actually very low because the counting process is too opaque for most of society to have any confidence in its accuracy or fairness. Your models appear to assume that everyone understands what's going on and has confidence in the system.
Any system in which the electorate does not have a high degree of confidence is doomed because the results will not be seen as a legitimate reflection of the common will. (Just look at American politics; the election mechanics are simple, but voter confidence is low.)
