“The ultimate problem with Distributism: to work, it requires that every family own and run its own business - a business that cannot be allowed to expand to a scale larger than the family.”
At it's core this would seem to be true but we can take steps to be practical about distributism.
It's a far better system than what we have

The list you linked to makes some good suggestions and many pointlessly leftist suggestions - and, despite its designation as "practical" many highly impractical suggestions (build an outdoor community oven for bread in 21st century America?), including some outright dangerous ones.
I would also note that assisting at Mass is number 52 on the list - so it is bizarrely prioritized as well.
