I don't see one thing wrong with this whole arrangement, given what I've read in the essay. What makes is ok is informed consent. All the parties know about the other parties and *they're* all ok with it. Case closed.

As for the validity of efriendships (nice turn of phrase, jim), I repeat myself and echo others here when I say they can be just as real, though different, as friendships consummated in meatspace. We all know people who have different romantic geometries than the common one man one woman monogamous couple. Elspode comes to mind and I can't recall one single reproachful post aimed at him for his choices (one man two women for a period). That kind of arrangement wouldn't work for me, but it seems to work for them. Who am I to judge?
