The only time the government intervenes in AC's is regarding taxes (most countries you have to classify yourself as self employed for tax purposes). Outside that I can only think of Titoist Yugoslavia, and the various companys in Venezeula. And in that country the first time a company goes before the courts, generaly the decision goes to the workers, and not so much the second time around.
Part of the reason Titoist Yugoslavia rose quickly was because the government provided low interest, long term loans to anyone who was going to make company. The person who started the company was under certain obligations regarding payment, but until the orginal loan and interest was paid off they were in charge of a Traditionaly Run Company (TRC).
And, since everyone is getting a more or less equal share of the profits, the number of people in the middle class grows (as a percent of the population). And the real strength of any economy is based on the percent of it's population in the middle class.
Not really. Almost every contract has someone in a position of superior authoirty. In most companys, the power is on the company, not the worker. The company has the authority to make all kinds of decisions regarding you, that you have no say in. How much say do you have regarding your ages, mandatory overtime, who the new manager is? Whereas in a AC, you have a say in all of those. So, really, an Autogestive Economy is a better example of Freedom of Contract then a Capitalist Economy
I'm not aware of any existing ACs that are in high tech companys, but I'm sure some exist. The way to deal with such things (in terms of administration) would be to have highered experts who adivse the managers (effectivly making a Representitive Model). Payment would be like with any other company, the government would simply provide low interest, long term loans to the future manager.
Nobody opposes them as they hurt nobody unless a government subsidizes them.

This would be a major difference as it takes away many incentives of savings based capital projects

This is also an impediment to freedom of contract.

would be tech start-ups, which would take years to generate any kind of return. Often they can't even properly pay their employees and pay in stock options instead.
