Dependence on an educated workforce is orthogonal to the economic system. Rather it's a corollary of scientific and technological advancement.

Feudalism isn’t dependent on an educated workforce and historically the two seemingly could not coexist.
Hardly, feudalism runs into span of control issues. Its rise and fall around the world coincides with a specific mix of agricultural practice and at most light industry.

Thus not all economic systems are compatible with an educated workforce which means they aren’t orthogonal.
