I'd love to see a setting where technology has made the world a practical utopia, and people generally don't have to be wary of each other. It would be tricky to introduce interesting conflict and challenges into such a setting, yes.
There are some anime/manga like that, for example Aria [0], which is basically Venice on Mars and the main characters are aspiring gondoliers, with the story centered on their training or daily life etc.
But you could have a utopian human society and have the conflict come from an alien species or some kind of cosmic cataclysm.
