Make sure all leadership is distributed and compartmentalized by category (leadership is many things, not one thing), or at least fully recallable.
Don't require that the commune encompass all of a person's life. Start with just a couple essentials and build up instead of trying to implement everything new all at once.
For goodness' sake locate it close to some kind of urban area. Social claustrophobia is a thing, plus it's healthy to have people relating to others outside, plus you want an avenue to bring people in.
What exactly is sus about the communes? I know the ones in the 60s often fell apart due to romantic/sexual stuff.
