re 1) there may be no scarcity of food and widgets but there is only so much beachfront land. Money probably won't be worthless.

I hear you, but not everyone wants beachfront land. Furthermore, I do believe it would be possible to give everyone a way to wake up and see a beach, particularly in a post-scarcity world. I mean, let your imagination run wild - filling out existent islands, artificial island, towers, etc.

But there will be always preference. Whenever there is preference for finite resources (even if that resource is "number of meter from celebrity X") there needs to be a method for allocation.. which currently is money.

But if money is only useful to buy luxury things like beachfront land is it really going to be useful as a currency of exchange?
