I worry that attempts to smooth it out can actually cause worse disruption.

Like, let's say we know factory workers will be laid off, so we need to allocate resources to retrain them.

Very likely the resources will not be enough for all the workers. So who gets them and who doesn't will become a political battle, with the left-out group resenting everyone in society and society ignoring their needs because it reminds them that they left them behind.

And then you build a society where one group's triumph is based on another's suppression, and you can see where this is going...
