I understand everyone's got their opinion on this, and of that you are most certainly entitled. The only thing I would caution against is ruling it out outright, as something that is not a good thing, for the simple reason that it is, afterall, a part of the Holy Qur'an.

We should know that whilst there were thousands of Allah's prophets through history, they came for their own people, at that particular time. Muhammad (saw) brought the message for the whole of mankind, and for the rest of time until the Day of Judgement. This is a core Islamic belief. And if we believe that Allah is most Just, most Merciful, most Compassionate, it follows that our Just, Merciful, Compassionate Lord would never allow anything that is unjust or unmerciful.

Of course, there is no compulsion to marry more than one wife, so this is a non-issue for most people. However, maybe we shouldn't say "it is not suitable for a modern context". The Qur'an is relevant for all times until the end.
