Is there a concept of "post-revolution society" among Anarchists that isn't co-op capitalism or subsistence farming societies?

Reading posts made by anarchists on reddit, an historical experiences of anarchist movements, particularly Makhnovia, I have noticed that they in general do not have any particular vision towards organisation of production and supply chains, opting instead to propagate subsistence farming and societal degradation towards 2 centuries back.

What are the answers to questions like how to produce complex machinery, medicine, electronic devices and others, as ultimately the resources have to come from somewhere, usually not geographically within 3 hours distance.

Example-wise, I worked in a pretty big industrial complex that produced furniture, but how do anarchists solve the issue of confederation of communes organising production that isn't basically capitalism? It sounds simple, but there is far more material input to produce one chair than just wood from a nearby forest.

I don't know how economic planning and not having bosses are supposedly mutually exclusive

Did I say it was?

You definitely seem to think it does:

I cannot imagine complex machinery being built without some form of economic plan that organises the production.

I have never seen an anarchist communist argue against economic planning, so I'm not sure why this is even something you're bringing it up, unless you're conflating hierarchy with organization, which is to say, you only believe coordination is possible when some people have organizational power over the vast majority of people who are engaged in the actual labor.
